fuel system
ok i just got my fuel pump in and the adjustable reg. in as well. now when you have one of those haynes manuals and it says the spec that the fuel psi should be in, that is with the motor not running right. bc mine is in spec right around 45, then when it is running it is like at 40? that and with my reg. it does seem to want to increase the psi a whole like, just to see if it is working. i am running this reg. http://store.summitracing.com/partde...0&autoview=sku
just it just take a lot of turns of the screw for it to really start to change?

Re: fuel system
You want to set the fuel pressure with the car at idle. Then tape the pressure gage to your windshield and go wail on it. This will make sure that you are maintaining that fuel pressure or close to it at WOT at redline. The threads on the AFPR are very fine so it does take some turns to get a change.

Re: fuel system
