I would say anytime you do major mods, youll need an adjustable regulator.

When I get my 24's, I am getting a Kirben to replace my stock. Definitely a nice piece of machinery!

If your getting a "chip" a FPR is not needed...However it might be nice peice of equipment to help you fine tune your car a little if you change your timming or to help with fuel consumption..

That is what I figured, since byron does everyhting with the computer. But I will get one, too bad it is going to be a BBK.

BBK regulators have a reputation for leaking.

Glenn,
The Kirban has the best reputation for good reason. I am very pleased w/ mine. Anything else is second best.

I've heard from other people that the BBK f/p regulator is the only thing from BBK that hasn't given them any problems. I just ordered a BBK one last night from JEGS. Should be in tomorrow. I'm excited to be getting better than 8mph. ![[Whoo Whooooo!]](graemlins/woowoo.gif)

Fast, Cheap or Reliable. Pick two and live with it.

No offense, but send it back...I know SOO many people with leaky BBK FPR's its not even funny!!!...IF you decide to run a BBK FPR I would check it as often as possible...Normally the vacuum line to the manifold leaks fuel from the FPR..
