Gonna be doing a H/C/I install on my car, and I am going to have it tuned, and chipped after wards, will I need a fuel press. regulator?

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

go with the kirban regulator, it isnt that expensive, actually cheaper than bbk [Eek!] , and i know a few shops that swear by them, i have heard nothing but good about them, mine has never given me any problem on the cobra

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!]

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..
