Ajustable fuel pressure regulator

I'm looking for a AFPR for my L98. A lot of company make AFPR for TPI engine. Do you have any idea of a good brand at a respectable price? Is increasing fuel pressure give significant results? Look at my sig for my mods and gime your comments about adding a AFPR over these mods.

Thanks

dont buy the TPIS one its overpriced and the vacuum port breaks off real easy.. I think holley makes the one you can adjust by hand,,not sure though..or you can just make your own http://members.aol.com/mmmm999/3rd-d.../afpr/afpr.htm
by looking at your mods it dosent look like you need an afpr at this time. id save the money and get an intake/larger runners..do all the free mods too,,, tb bypass, port plenum, gut cat
goodluck

I don't think you'll see much of an improvement with higher FP with your mods. Not until you do some major mods. Swap intake manifold, cam, or heads.

But if you decide to put one on just for future use, I recommend Holley. It comes with the new regulator internals which you will WANT to replace while everything is off.

I doubt it. but if you really want to know go on a dyno. That will really show you. More than likely you will be ok with stock FP for now .

The Crane vacume tube breaks off too easily too!

Switched to Holley's, It made much better and you can adjust it by hand, no tools required.
