question on fuel pressure
question on fuel pressure
ok my 1991 camaro rs was stripped down redone and had the engine and injecting system removed and replaced with a 383. my questions are what kind of fuel pressure should my Mallory regulator be reading? it is reading between 1-3 psi which i believe is too low. My car has a fairly big cam in it and has crappppppppppy low end power but around 3000 rpm's really comes to life but kinda feels like the power drowns out from 4500 to 7000 which it was built for 7000 rpm's which concerns me. I also would like to know if a smaller exhaust would help my low end torque at all for i have none. Also how to identify what kind of head i have.

Re: question on fuel pressure
