Default Fuel Pressure ?

I put an adjustable FPR on the other day and set it at 39 with the vacuum off. Well sometimes when I hit the pedal it bogs a little and backfires in the passenger side header. My question is do I adjust the pressure to more PSI or less to get rid of this? Also does more pressure equal more fuel or visa versa?

WOW, all that and I still dont think he answered your question, lol

try not to surf while snorting coke......................

I would play with it, sounds like your rich or maybe a plug is bad
or dirty or not gapped right, ect. ect.
check all you plug wires, make sure everything is firing right.

there is a self diagnostic/ reading codes thing you can make the computer do also, that will
have it step thru each cylinder turning them off and on and it will tell if any were not right.

there's a page somewhere on stangnet.com that walks you thru it.
sorry dont know the link
