TypeSLady--- Fuel pressure gauges.... Autometer sells them... Gauge pod.. Lotec sells them.
Eric:.... right now I am at 44psi at idle no accessories and 75 with the vac pulled.
I am bumping down to 35-36 psi at idle and 65 w/ vac pulled.

Oh to add to the thread Eric, I just checked my peak BOOST and it read 7.5 lbs of boost.....![Wink](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif)
I set the warn light to go off at 8, we shall see if I hit it the next time I go for spin since I installed the CT mufflers the other day.

You should state a vacuum number to reference also. When fully warmed and at about 21 inHg I see about 32 PSI.
BTW, my peak boost is just slightly higher but I am flowing more air. Hrmmm.

How on earth do you go from 36psi vacuum to 69psi no-vacuum?? I have my FPR installed and I read 44psi vacuum and 56psi no-vacuum. A 33psi jump just on vacuum is odd. According to Comptech's documentation, 50psi will drop to 37.5psi in 20in of vacuum. Also, the type of spring/calibration washer doesn't affect this part of the curve.

I haven't looked into the details of how they acheive this gain rate but it does put fuel pressure at or above 100 PSI with just 3 - 4 PSI boost. That reminds me, I need to call Comptech today and get the washer/spring kit.

All gear heads feel free to correct me here if I am wrong. Any need to know if all is well (we are not trying to set any quarter mile records, etc.) and we do not plan to make any changes? I know, I know: How much power do you need? More than you've got!

Sorry for using terms that show my age. Any updated lingo (instead of gear heads, and grease monkies) would be appreciated. One is never too old to learn. Thanks

steve why are you changing the fpr?do you just want to bring down fuel pressure values?after i install the intercooler with everything id like to go to bigger squirters and drop that fuel pressure which is way too high

I can drop the gain rate and compensate for it with the e-Manage.

I just check it again this morning, and at idle it is more around 25 psi and at peak 85psi at WOT, how can I bump it up about 10psi? Do I just adjust the screw on the FPR? Thanks
Joedokes: I have made the move up to scottsdale last week and will be back up there next weds. PM your number and I'll arrange a test drive
