How much power could be gained by installing one on my 2.8? Does anyone know wich one is best if any.

 

not much to be honest.

 

Agreed, not much, but if you have a need for an adjustable regulator the Holley one is pretty nice. I don't have the part # handy, but its the one listed for TPI V8 applications.

 

I'm kinda partial to the Mallory 4309, but that 's a more carb friendly animal.

Holey TPI afpi is HERE

 

Well #23 im guessing you have one?? lol was it worth it??

 

What brand/model did you go with?

 

holly

 

get the hint and go away.
Please. And do not come back.

 

You know what? I have used them, and a total of 7 times on different vehicles. And no, they do not GIVE much HP. They do help remove lean spots and low pressure areas. THAT is about all they do.

I consider you to not be an "expert" on anything other than irratating people.

 

if it's the stock motor and it's still fuel injected... you already have one...

 

I'm sure he meant adjustable

 

Yea I was talking about fuel injected.. Sorry bout that

 

Just what nonsense reply are you talking about??? ITS NOT A HUGE GAIN! And I'm as much an expert as anyone else here, having dealt with the one on Redraif's car for three+ years! We've done more dyno runs than any three other people here, with the exception possibly of those members who are producing parts (Doward, Am, etc), and other than smoothing things out a bit it did virtually nothing. I'm not sure why you think that you are the only one here with any knowlege or experience...seems like you'd get tired of stroking your own ego on every post, and insulting other members. Maybe its a contest to see how many times you can get banned, or possibly you have alienated everyone you know and have to come here to have someone listen to you...who fing knows....

I for one wish you and V6 sucker would take your pissing matches elsewhere. The good info sprinkled in with both of your posts are hardly worth the constant namecalling and bs that both of you spew at each other.

 

Stock pressure is like 40 lb's right? What do you bump it up to usaually on a mild bolt on car?

 

The factory manual says it should be between 40.5-47psi with the ignition on (not running). I'd reccomend checking what yours reads with the stock regulator (if you haven't installed the new one yet), and using that as a baseline. Her car had a larger cam ,injectors,and some mild porting when we went with the regulator, so I couldn't give a specific recommendation. I would imagine somewhere in the lower 40s.

 

if you are so fed up with how you are being treated... why do you keep coming back?

And you also know what? Books are right too. They give specific ranges, that are called "limits and standards". That means that it should fall in a certain specific number range, if it does not, something is wrong and needs replaced.

But you are right about one thing, no dyno numbers do not win races, but they are useful when tuning an engine. After all, if you adjust your pressure up, or down (like you might do for larger injectors), you would not be able to tell if it si helping or hurting unless you got on a dyno to check. That is unless you trust that stupid dash G-tech POS and use that to tune with...

 

Ok so how what is a good PSI to bump it up too?

 

usually 4-5 is about what factory settings can take.

 

And you know what? you are still proiving your "worthiness" to this board by STILL calling people names. And yes it was reported as such.

Maybe because everytime you post in the V6 forums, you are calling names and being abusive.

And as far as the "V6" mods "have a hard-on for banning you" maybe the others should take a look at what you do here, and then they would certainly see things the way we do. They would see your true nature of being an attention seeking, egotisical *****.

I will actually go one farther from just reporting this post, I will also bring it to the admins attention how you have now moved on to calling moderators names for doing their job.

 

Not to be an A$$ or anything but your basically gonna tell on him? I dont see any point to you guys arguing. One says one the other says something else. Its all opinions, dont argue over whos opinion is right. #23 you car prolly had a better reaction due to your less rotating mass, you others that have tried it or maybe not im not sure do you have mods to your cars or did you just slap it on there thinking it would add power? Again not being rude or anything just asking. Dont fight over worthlessness, just give your opinion or if possible a proven fact. Thanks, Baron
