What regulators seem to hold up well longevity wise, good controlleable fuel pressure, pretty linear if you need to use them in a boost reference application etc and pricing is what youd expect for a good regulator, not what youd expect for a good regulator made out of solid gold

Need to do a few fuel systems (rails, 8 AN feed line, will be running rails in series most likely, not in parrallel) and choice of regulator and fuel line type is next on the list.

Weldon makes a great regulator. Fuel line type should be teflon lined if your not hard lining the install. Harris Speed Works makes a great teflon lined hose.

Beware cheap regulators because if you really increase the hp later (which requires the fuel flow to be increased), some cheaper regulators will not be able to flow the return fuel to the tank.......over 500lbs/hour of fuel needs a good +$200 regulator.

Stay away from Aeromotive. Weldon is great but pricy We have had great luck with Fuel Labs regulators that is what we add to our fuel systems. They come in choices of colors and inlet sizes.

What problems have you seen with the Aeromotives? Mine has worked flawlessly so far.

Thx,
