The FPSS is a great accessory to run. The problem is that most people really do not know how to adjust them.

I agree with you at that one! We test and precalibrate all our FPSS before they leave the door!

The problem seems to be that most users set them too high, so when there is a brief dip in pressure when the N2O system activates in immediately kills it causing a surging. The trick is to set it a few psi below that.

I tested one I got with Dave's plate kit last year, looks like it breaks continuity right around 40-45 psi. Thats probably a good point for the 60psi operating fuel pressure I'm seeing.

Yes, I agree. I would set it to 45ish, myself. If this is the case with all of the sensors sent out, then I am putting mine back in.

to adjust a FPSS,

1) verify that the bottle is closed and there is no nitrous in the feed line
2) remove the fuel line from the nozzle
3) activate the kit
4) using a can to catch the fuel flowing from the fuel line, slowly tighten the screw on the end of the FPSS until the fuel starts to fluctuate.
5) Back the screw off 3/4 of a turn
6) hook everything back up and you are done

How do you adjust it with a dry kit?

Sure there is. Losing fuel pressure on a dry shot will be just as bad. Usually goes on the end of the fuel rail.

ya. there should be. and the adjustment is just the same. It can also be done with an air compressor and a ohm meter or light bulb. Then it's off the car and no gas splashing out.
