TPI fuel pressure regulator

They would work on 3.1's correct? Would 45 PSI work on a 3.1 with full exhaust? or would it need to be more,like 47-48?

It's the same part for V6 and TPI.
Here is my fuel page, it has the FPR that I used on my V6 with the summit part # too.
The stock fuel pressure is 43.5psi, turn it up if needed.

To 45 PSI?

Any other modifications to pumps/injector/rails needed?

Turn it up as high as you can until youare blowing black smoke out the tailpipe, then turn it down a notch below that until it stops.

All you need is to put it on there and turn it up untill you run lean then you will need new injectors then a pump as some point. Maybe not with with a V6.
