I wouldn't even use the electric pump. Go get a mechanical pump and replace your electric pump with a piece of rubber hose and run it that way. You will keep blowing seals in the regulator trying to get the pressure that low.

Oh no, many people do but it is usually an aftermarket pump mounted outside the tank such as the Holley blue pump. But that is usually with a sumped tank or a normal non-efi tank. But then there are those like myself and some others who either havn't done it yet or just don't have the time and money that just replaced the electric pump with the rubber hose of the same length or so, disconnect ALL POWER to the pump so you don't get any sparks and hook up a mechanical pump. You may have to replace the timing cover for an older one if you motor doesn't have one already to allow for a mechanical pump.

What combo are you running anyway? Give some details.

What pump are you running? I have the holley blue and a magna fuel. I use holley regulators and have a fuel pressure guage mounted on cowl. If you have a pump like i mentioned a regulator will work fine with it. They do not put out as much pressure as a efi pump. With a carba good pressure to run is between 4-7 psi depending on your engine.
