well i checked it myself....with the vac. connected,at about 2500rpm it dropped to 26 psi.
so i disconnected the vac off the regulater and it held 40psi at all rpm's....is that the regulater?
i went ahead and ordered me a new one. i hope this takes care of it.
i really hate to drop the tank again.

the cam is origanally for 1.7's which = to .544/.544 lift,but...afr said my valve springs can't hold anything after .540 lift.
trust me i asked and was not happy with the results.
so pedestal mount sucks!

no that's why d.s.s 1.6's were put in there to keep the lift to a safe.512.
with pedestal mount you really can't push it with those 5/16 bolts like breakage.
i thought about doing a custom cam,but i think i'm going to wait out for my s/c.
