Default stand alone question

Is their an advantage to running the fuel reg at low press vs. high press?

Also what gas is everyone running in their dedicated fuel systems?

C-16 would be my rec. Low pressure tune ups give you more adjustability as in those 50hp settings. High pressure requires small jets, and when making a jet change you will not see a small flow difference causing you to go up on power..

NXRICKY put it well. A low pressure system is easier to FINE tune.

I am personally running my sytem at 60psi since thats around where stock PSI is and that is what my TNT jets are tuned for. As for gas I am running c-16 gas in mine and I promise that makes me feel a lot better about sprayin.

Thanks for the input. The local speed shop was out of C16 so I had to go with Sunoco Blue (114 octane)
