i have the 05 efans.. and the stock water pump.. would the meziere pump flow more and give less cooling? does water wetter work???

ok i love this adjustable FPR.. but.. why when i got home.. did it read 55 psi, then i readjusted for 65 psi (should be 58 but i was compensating for the shift i saw).. this morning, it reads 100 psi!!! I know its set to 65 psi.. 30 miles down the road.. 80.. 75... finally resting between 60 and 65.. the regulator is rated at a max of 70! Im confused as to why it does that..at this point, im pointing my finger at the Glowshift guage, or that guages sending unit.. think im on the right track?

I think it's because you're using it as a band aid to solve a problem. And glowshift gauges are pieces of ****.

You have a stock fuel system. With a stock regulator that obviously didn't work. So instead of fixing it, you just went with an adjustable. Band-Aid.

no you're wrong
i did not have a stock regulator... i have the tbss returnless rails on my return style system.. the band aid attempt was the vette regulator setup.. this is a tried and true solution for this conversion.

I wouldn't trust your GlowShit gauge to be reading correctly. I'd borrow somebody's Snap-On(or whatever) test gauge, and find out what's really happening before you start chasing your tail & potentially waste money.
