Default Installed AFPR today...

All in all it was purdy easy.

I set the pressure at 47# with vacuum line removed and car idling, per instructions on package (from TPIS). Factory was @ 39#. What are you guys running? Without a drag strip or dyno handy I noticed no immediate SOTP difference. Did I bump it too high? Input please...Be Careful Out There...Bob

You may be a little high for your mods. Recent dyno pulls show my A/F at WOT for my mods is just right with 48psi.

Get a scan tool and set the FP for about a .920 O2 sensor reading at WOT.

I found that mine liked 43 psi best. Tried up to 50. Every adjustment above 43 made the car seem flat and it didn't pull as hard. Just used G-tech for comparisons. No hard #'s.

h rocks,

Was 43 at idle with vacuum line disconnected? What are you guys setting the fuel pressure at when the car is not running, just the ignition key on?

Yes please let me know your testing procedure. I measure mine with engine running and vacuum disconnected

Thanks, Bob
