Default Adjustable Fuel Pressure Regulator

Has anyone looked into the TPI Specialties adjustable fuel regulator? If so what are your thoughts?

Thanks

The stock one is on the fuel rail and has a manifold reference running to it. I guess I could go snap a picture of it. :p I think there is also a torx screw that you can adjust the base pressure with. I've never messed with it but, I think OXIDIZER has in the past.

I don't know if anything would show up in a search.

Matt, I would but, I JUST found out it's pouring down rain outside and now my seats are nice and wet since my windows were down.

blownchevy - Is this what you're talking about?

<a href="http://www.corvettemagazine.com/2003/january/newproducts/np1-1-3rd.asp" target="_blank"><font color="red">TPIS LS1 Fuel Pressure Regulator<!--color--></font></a>

If so it's a nice piece but, isn't manifold referenced so it wouldn't work with our trucks unless you reprogrammed the computer to work with it.(not worth it) We have a better setup anyway, especially for blown applications.

Blownchevy don't you allready have a different regulator with the Radix intake manifold and fuel rail.I think it's calibrated for the supercharger.

xlr, what are the options for us as far as aftermarket AFPRs, since the TPIS unit wont work for us, and what are the advantages of one? especially if you're going with a setup like the one i'm working on?
