    Fuel pressure reg

    Fuel pressure regulator and pump what volume pump should I get and what should I keep it regulated at? How is this going to effect my PCM. If it affects my ECM what can I do to counter it. Any good idea's on brands of pumps and regulators?

    I'm also using the RPW FPR (Yes Laz, I got it back LOL) and have it set to 48PSI. Installing the Walbro pump is pretty easy. It's a drop in pump.

    Yep, Laz and 8g are right. It will level out the torque curve and fill in any flat spots, espcially at the top end. Plus if you your plans are FI, it's a neccessity to deliver the extra fuel.

    if your engine is stock, leave the fuel pressure at stock. increasing it will probably just trigger a check engine light for the car being out of its normal fuel map.
    it wont make it run any better, as the PCM will decrease injector pulse width to compensate for the rich running.

    i was planning on getting the walbro 255 and the FPR after my CAI, header, and hi flow cat. i think all in one step i will have the FPR, walbro 255 and the S-AFC installed at once. after those it's the nitrous.
