Default what fuel pressure regulator do you run??

My buddy was supposed to sell me his old one he isn't using anymore, but he "lost" it.....

Ive been looking at the BBK
http://www.summitracing.com/parts/BBK-1706/

I like that you can mount the gauge to it, so It wont use up the schrader valve that I use for my nitrous kit.

but im not inlove with the price, and the fact that the vacuum hose might be tight against the intake manifold with the layout of the unit.


what do you guys use?

i've got an accufab and it has an outlet for a fuelpressure gauge or nitrous hook up. i've heard bbk's along with most other brands will leak over time tho, the only one i haven't heard bad about is the aeromotive unit.

is it the one I posted?

I mainly just want to save my schrader valve for the nitrous kit is why I want to get one that can mount the gauge on, but the bbk looks like it might be REAL close to the intake

i think they're all gonna be close to the intake no matter what brand, i know it's a pain to get mine on or off if the upper is on.

I had a kirban and it was a nice peice, but then I got the Profesional producs one. It has a spot on it for a pressure gauge or nitrous fuel port and IIRC the price was good.

this is the one I have
