Default MSD boost referenced regulator?


Boost Adjustable
This Regulator is designed for turbo or supercharged engines. As boost pressure increases, more fuel is required by the engine. This regulator features a boost reference circuit that adds more fuel in relation to boost pressure.

Does anyone know if this thing is any good for a turbo setup? I'm looking at GMR's twin kit and am aiming for 650-850 HP. My goal is to be different, COMPLETELY different, and keep the stock rails. That thing looks like what's on our rails... Soon enough, I'll get that dual Racetronix kit that's apparently out there (I'll have to search for it), so... I'm not worried about what's going to be in the fuel tank.

There are a couple problems with those...for one they work from 37-42psi where your LS1 is run at 58 base. You could adjust it lower for the boost ref. but prob no lower than 50psi. Second it will only flow 9-10 gl/hr about 40 lph where your twin pump setup will flow 500lph you will have more than 40 to return to the tank.

Also your stock rails are going to start becoming a restriction at about 650rwhp. fuel sytem is the heart of your motor do yourself a favor and do it correct to save your motor and components from melt down.

I have seen guys modify the fuel rail covers to fit on our rails. Not sure how but I have seen it done.
