Default Turbo 5.3

Hi I swaped a turbo 5.3 in a 96 trans am and running a corvette fuel regulater. If I go with 80lb injectors do I need a diffrent regulater? Thanks

honestly if you are running 80lb injectors youll probably run out of fuel before you can use the injector, i have a friend who built a rx7 with 60lb injectors and the corvette regulator and his duty cycle was running away on under 10lbs of boost because the corvette regulator could not flow enough for him.

if you are looking for 600+rwhp i would say your only choice should be feeding the rails directly from the tank, and then regulating after the rails, and returning.

i see the corvette regulator that returns as a bandaid fix for a proper return setup that wont let you down.

Ok going with a aeromotive 13109 FPR... going to run the feed line and return line from the tank to FPR then one outlet out of the FPR to fuel rail and crossover to next fuel rail and cap that fuel rail off at the end. Correct?

if you are running all new lines and have aftermarket rails then go from the tank to one rail, crossover to the other rail, come out the back side of that rail and go to the regulator, then run your return line from the regulator to the tank. You will not cap anything on the rails, just the other feed hole on the regulator if it has 2 feed ports
