Why yes this does. I posted some time back when I finnished it. I gutted the stock reg. and used the DI cap with 1/8" port. This gave me lots of room to play. I know now a 7.3 will run with no reg at all and the otherside is that you can stall the fuel pump at 140psi. I havn't yet but this little reg.s have boost reference port for raising the pressure at WOT.

Gillett Diesel Service, Inc. Home Page
This place has springs to raise the fuel pressure. You may have to E-mail or call to get one but they are 20$ or so.

I had a Gillette spring and it produced 120psi. They run good up their but in my testing I found that the improvement was minimal past 100psi. Thats why I went the regulator route. Infinite adjustment at the turn of a Allen wrench.

I like the idea of the spring myself, but somthing adjustable would be great to.
