" 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."

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.

Does the gauge screw onto the rail?



106 is cooken!!
