have a plan and he's right. However, the next step on my plan will
cost a couple bucks, I'm saving up, yet still have the upgrade itch.
While I prepare for the next big step, one person I trust talked about
a fuel regulator, which seems affordable, and like a 'couple hours in
the driveway' do it myself type of thing. I have a couple questions.

What will it really get me? Is it really that easy to install? The
way my friend described the install and set-up, it almost seems
similar to advancing your timing, that once installed, you need to
tune it to the right setting. Do I need a fuel pressure gauge? How
would I tune it / set it up? The friend who had done it on a Mustang
he used to have remembered an article in Fast Fords with step - by -
step instructions that made it easy. Does anyone have the link to
this article?

Without knowing your plan it is hard to say if a regulator is beneficial at this time or at all. Where I think fuel pressure becomes a big concern is when turbos or superchargers are installed. Then fuel pressure has the added burden of overcoming the boost pressure and the overall fuel system might need improved to supply fuel at the required pressure AND volume. If you are staying N/A then it isn't as much a concern and the custom tune you should get will compensate for any little variation in fuel pressure you may have now.

So, what's your plan?
