Default Which FPR for non-stock rail????

I have an aftermarket fuel rail with a intake I have been working on and I need a Fuel pressure regulator other than stock to work with this fuel rail. Needs to work with 6an line and I am going to keep it as basic as possible and keep the system in series just like the 94-97 factory system. Instead of heard line I'll run 6an line and a aftermarket FPR.

So what is everyone using that does not have the stock fuel rail/FPR setup????

I have an A1000 regulator but Fuelab would be my next choice.

I was going to suggest Fuelab, like I said over on cz28

I've read/heard too many bad things on Aeromotive, but then again lots of people are running them w/o problems.

We use the Aeromotive Regulators on all our FI setups and never seen an issue. The Professional Products unit we have had issue with with FI, but no issues NA. I guess it's something with a cheaper diaphragm and increased pressure with boost.

go Aeromotive, FuelLab or Magnafuel

I was going to go with the professional products unit, then I was going to go with the Aeromotive. I bought a black 515 Fuelab unit this morning.

After doing some research I really like the Fuelab unit.
