VAFPR and dialing in high pressure spring
I read lots of mixed opinions on whether or not a VAFPR is a worthwhile setup on a TBI using a 7427 PCM. I currently have a 27 PSI spring in my regulator, hoping to fuel a SBC that I estimate should make about 400 FWHP.
So, should I be using a VAFPR to lower pressure at idle? Or can this be tuned around without using a VAFPR?

I did not overfuel at idle at 30 psi running 61# high pressure marine injectors. I was at 1.1-1.2 msec at idle. I have also taken a lesson from 2.8s and 4.3s and 454s and run completely asynch calibrations to stretch the injectors further at both idle and WOT.

Re: VAFPR and dialing in high pressure spring
Fast, so you were running 30 psi WITHOUT a VAFPR??
Will you please elaborate on what parameters you had to tweak to get idle not to be crazy rich?

Re: VAFPR and dialing in high pressure spring
I ran 30 psi without a VAFPR. Pulse width was about 1.1-1.2 msec at idle on my setup. Biggest change I made was use the injector correction data from a 1995 454 that used the high pressure fuel system to start with. Even though those 454s used the smaller high pressure 4.3 injectors it is still a closer starting point than the low pressure stuff.

Re: VAFPR and dialing in high pressure spring
The 2.8/4.3 and later 454s often have asynchronous injection only. Asynch fires the injectors at a fixed rate rather than in synch with the distributor reference pulses. This gives you more control over them at both low pulsewidths and allows you to run a longer pulsewidth at higher PRM. Asynch fires at a fixed 80 hz or once every 12.5 msec.
