Ya I set the speed limiter to 125 mph with the predator. The predator was on the standard 93 oct. program that diablo uses for the 5.3's. All I did was bump up the fuel psi 5 lbs before I sprayed the 100 shot...no KR at all. This is where I ordered the kit... http://www.compucarnitrous.com/690310.htm.

How did you turn up the fuel pressure? Thanks for the link on the nitrous kit!

This is how you turn up the fuel psi....from what Oxidizr said on an old post...It worked for me!

" Unlike the LS1/LS6 motor we do not have a static pressure fuel system. We have a more traditional GM fuel-pressure bypass system. This means the pump is running all the time and the regulator allows fuel to pass above a preset pressure. This pressure is adjusted like any after market Adjustable Fuel Pressure Regulator. The driver's side fuel rail/inlet has a cylindrical devise on the return side of the rail with a #10 security torx bit. You simply have to turn this screw to achieve desired pressure (clockwise=higher pressure/counter-clockwise=lower pressure.) In order to adjust the pressure you will need a fuel pressure gauge to read pressure from the schrader valve and a #10 security torx bit. Be sure to remove vacuum from the regulator to read WOT pressure before adjusting.

I have found 3-5 PSI lower = 5 rwhp on stock tune-no mods. To maintain stable nitrous operation 5-6 PSI higher for 125 (RWHP+.) I have seen much variation from factory on the settings of these regulators. I believe their is some coorolation between the color (lt.blue, yellow, pink) strip painted on the regulator and the factory preset pressure."

Pewter, post up some pics of the kit for us.

Also, can you get a fuel pressure gauge to mount on the rail, kinda like the old carb set ups? Or i guess a fuel pressure sender and a gauge inside.

Ok, I'll get some pics this afternoon. I mounted a 100 psi gauge on the fuel inj. rail on the schrader valve. You can get a 100 psi guage from jegs for like $20. You can get the kind that goes inside...but it is $$$.

Sweet thanks. I'll go the cheaper route. What psi does yours idle at?
Does the gauge screw onto the rail?
