The pump I had was on the edge up top . I wanted a quality pump to do the job with out having to worry about it failing . The plumbing I have is up to the job . This is not a 1000hp set up . I am at 550hp at the flywheel . At 60 psi with a good pump will sure do the job because the volume is there now . The filter/regulator was the problem at 54 psi . Could it have been tuned at the 54psi , sure it could . But i would have rather tuned 58 to 60psi . If it comes to a separate regulator and filter thats what I will do . But at this time the pump was the week link and that has been addressed . The low fuel pressure with the regulator was the issue apparently before and after the pump change . I just wanted to get the pressure to where it was supposed to be before the tune .
