Re: BEST DAMN TIRES AROUND!!!!
Well probably about 6 weeks or so ago now I installed a Walbro 255lph fuel pump. I am think I am running hella rich in the low RPMS (sputter, boggs down, etc but better when at full tank.....) but I still feel a flat spot in the upper (5500+) RPMS. I am planning on getting an SAFC2 in the next week or two. Should I also get a RRFPR like the Vortech SFMU or will just the SAFC be enough to manage the increased fuel and such? All my mods for the most part are listed in my sig.

Re: REDZMAN
Mike,
What you need is a Adj FPR, no need to spend money on a SAFC when you don't need it. What it is the 255 will over run the stock FPR at lower rpm, so your base Fuel Pressure is increased, hence the sputtering, bogging.
If you put a Adj FPR (i.e. Aeromotive) and lower your fuel pressure back to stock at idle it will solve your problem.

Re: cam/bbtb/airram related Q's
Thanks alot I will probably get a RRFPR and then the SAFC and get it all tuned. Thanks for the help guys.
For the FPR do I need something like a 1:1 or what? The Vortech SFMU is kinda pricy so if I dont need to go $300 in the hole I dont want to ya know?
If you could give me some sugestions on a good replacement to the stock one it would be great. I have looked around and it seems people use mostly the Vortech or the Cartech ones. Would the DSM one that I saw a post earlier about work fine?

Re: What is a "turbulence"
Well I found this automotive one Clicky Here
They have quite a few of them, would the one above be best on their list? All of their regulators can be found Clicky Here Would I be better with a regular FPR or should I go with a RRFPR?
BTW I already bought and received )thanks by the way) the fitting from you. So all I need is the regulator itself and some hose of course.

I haven't searched the DIY section there yet. you post too fast dammit! LOL
I knew the Fuel pump was under the rear seats, I just didn't know the FPR was there too. Thansk Java.
