Put in a smaller fuel pump or re-plumb the fuel system.

If I put an adjustable fuel pressure regulator, how much fuel pressure do I set it on?

what power are you making that you need such a large pump?

looking at the sig seems as a typical 255 would of be plenty and depending on the parts in the 408 a stocker would of kept up

ive pushed stockers well into the low 400 rwhp range and a 255 will support high 500s NA
