Default Wa WO! Fuel pressure = GOOOO BYEBYE!

Ok so tonight me and a friend went out racing and on the way home I gave it some gas to show him how fast my car was. I hardly ever pay attention to my fuel pressure gauge but I guess I need to! N/A at WOT it drops from 58 to around 40 and then on the bottle it drops to around 20 he said I took it for a run and watched and saw it drop a ton after I hit the switch so I let off.

I am running the stock fuel pump and lines. I have the NXL nitrous direct port kit and the accumulator.

So what should I do? What stuff do I need to buy? Thanks!

I just installed mine, it's good for 700 RWHP on the single pump. Buy the pump and harness, it comes with everything you need.

you will probably need it tuned after the pump installation also so be prepared to spend some$$$$

Why?

Mine runs just fine... Just because you have more fuel pressure doesnt mean you will run rich.

You will not have to have it retuned after a fuel pump install.It want be flowing any more fuel than it does now.The regulater controlls that.

Actually you might have to retune. You will be flowing more fuel.

Since the stock pressure is about 58#, and you dropped to 20#. A better pump will get that 20# closer to 58# meaning more pressure which means richer.

I had to retune mine after my pump install. I was running way rich and lost over 75 rwhp.

Tuning is no problem. I can do that on the fly once I get my new Wideband O2 thing in.

So this Racetronix the way to go? If so I am buying this thing today.
