Compared to the other day, 4th wot pull, 5900 rpm boost was 13.1 and fuel pressure was 52.86psi.



Should do away with that silicone hose and barb fitting and get a push lock fitting and hose on there.

Everything working as it should now?

So still at about 60psi FP at 13#'s boost? What was base fuel pressure?

Edit.......have you tried disconnecting the BAP to see what the FP does now that the regulator is working properly?

If his regulator is a 1:1 rise then his base pressure would be 47 psi

"After I wrapped the screw with teflon tap,": so it seems you solved the issue?

"Tested regulator with a gauge and compressed air.
10PSI and 15 psi. The regulator and in car F.P. gauge responded perfectly.": was that done at full flow? what was the setup. just curious.

if i understand correctly, you were originally chasing a 6 psi drop. i would not have worried about it, but that just me. on one car i currently have a 15% drop in fp and just tune around it. a stock ls1 corvette has a drop of about 10%.

I discovered the same issue on the adjustment screw of my Holley FPR.
Testing with a MityVac that produces pressure, it would bleed off quickly. Put Teflon paste on the threads, problem solved.
My FP now rises 1:1 with boost.

Tuning around stuff like this makes no sense to me.
