thanks stanglx, i seen your latest post also, I hope the pump isnt too big. Oh well, I guess the regulator will keep everything where it needs to be. I probably have about 350 flywheel hp.

i think i am going to put a 125 shot on it when i get my fuel issues worked out. After that I think I will be content on the motor and try to focus some more on the chassis. I have good contral arms so I think all i will need are some subframe connectors. I dont need anythng fancy, just something to keep the car from twisting.

To my understanding it doesn't matter what size fuel pump you run as our cars have the tank return line. So the regulator passes what it will and the rest gets sent back for another trip. I replaced mine a while back with a walbro unit, funny thing was with all the mods on my car the dumbass didn't do the fuel pump lol some people. I tell you though, the best bang for the buck in my opinion was swapping to the new style Gen II injectors with the 4 holes and disc type outlet. They are more economical, atomize the fuel better, and I did notice seat of pants performance gain. And that was with JY pieces with 80k on them, yes my injectors were good. Someone has upgraded them to the FRPP units, and they didn't have many miles on them. I even tried a set of 24's for a while but didn't like the driveability issues with them.
