One of the members HAD one (maybe they still do). However, the PGM-FI will compensate for most conditions that would lead to a "rich" mixture. If you were lean at high RPMs, then this would be a possible addition.

I think SSMAN was considering something like this -- ask him...

Honda cars fuel delivery systems already run upwards of 90% efficiency....our CL-S is about 96% therefore we don't need an FPR at all...mchtypes had one on his car and I thought about getting one for my car, but once I spoke to a local uber tuner I realized that it's not necessary and will not yield ANY gains on our car...

If you are going to go with forced induction like NOS and Supercharger you need the FPR.

The one V6 Accord member who had one dyno tuned on his car gained power by REDUCING the psi which in affect causes the car to run a little leaner if I understand correctly... Ours cars already run super rich (10:1 to 11:1 a/f ratio) in the upper rpms and the last thing we need is MORE fuel.

If you have a turbo, SC or a healthy shot of NOS then it could come in handy.

Think of the FPR as a poor mans AFC with very limited adjustment.
