Default Has anybody used the Superior Pressure Riser?

Any comments on this? This distributor never includes much info on each product page...

or the fixed non-adjustable:

Thanks.

it's a resistor
if you wanna pay a bunch of money then wait a week for a resistor to be delivered...go right ahead
the one with a **** is just essentially a rheostat.

If you're doing other valve body modification and changing boost valve/spring there should be no need for this piece

Thanks Monster! I thought maybe you already had a wiring schematic decoded for the switchable/dial version... and why would they recommend the performance setting only part-time? Is it so high a pressure setting?

That's it
add resistance to the EPC circuit and the amperage at the EPC itself will go down

less amperage @ epc = more pressure

Running around full time on effectively 0 EPC amperage is gonna rattle your fillings out of your teeth on the shifts. it isn't needed
