$89 for a AFPR? Are you crazy. That is a lot of money for that thing. Make it yourself for under $2.

It works just the same.

Companies like T_ _ S are ripping everybody off and their claims are unrealistic.

Anyway that is my opinion.

Well, i'll admit that i wouldn't pay money for the TPIS, Accel, Jet, etc AFPRs. I can justify the coin i dropped on my holley AFPR pretty easily though. I can adjust my FP in the dark without any tools and without even taking anything out of the way. You cannot do that with any other AFPR. To me it's worth it.

I agree completely, the holley may be a little costly, but its the easiest AFPR that i have ever used. It clears everything and can be turned with your finger tips. Very happy with mine.

Here is the link to make your own. I'm gonna try this when I install my new injectors.

I agree with the Holley APFR...I know because I have one. The Holley is a pricey unit, but the ease of adjustment is well worth it.

As for the gains of the AFPR I'm yet to dyno it.
