Hey

I installed my fuel sytem tonight. Started the truck up and it ran. Test it out w/ the big program this week sometime with the fuel pressure gauge. So far w/ the stock tuning it stays at 58.

It seems that 55-60 is the range you want. PM Howard about this. He was playing with fuel pressures on the dyno awhile back.

FWIW, I'm at 53-55psi. It seems to love this pressure.

I'm trying to keep it around 55 psi.

I did some dyno testing with fuel pressures awhile back too. When I had the pressure up around 80 psi I'd loose about 10hp. When I'd bring it back down to around 60psi the power came back. I also had a rolling idle that I found that by lowering my fuel pressure went away. So I'm currently running about 35psi of pressure at idle and have the boost compensating port hooked up on my regulator so that when I get on it it goes up to 60 psi and stays there.
