I believe the fuel system on the 'L has been sufficiently over-designed and can handle heavy mods...

FSUFAN is running around with 473 RWHP and 516 RWTQ (NOS) with a A/F ratio of 10.5!

The Typhoon's fuel system was fairly marginal, and couldn't handle people turning by the boost.

NO need for one.
The computer will learn you have one, and adjust injector pulse width to counter. (Or so I'm told)

Post fuel pressure regulator

Does the 99 lightning have a fuel pressure regulator? If so is it possible to install a adjustable one? On my Typhoon there was one and by installing the adj. one you turn up the fuel to ensure not to lean out at WOT.

Thanks

So a new fuel pressure regulator will regulate fuel pressure, but if you get a new, bigger one, the computer will learn it, and RE-regulate fuel via the injectors? So there are TWO fuel pressure regulators? How about exhaust pressure regulators? just tryin' to pole some fun.

Exhaust pressure regulators, that would sound cool..That's one way to cut back on the torque
