    Do you think an adjustable fuel pressure regulator is a good idea for me? Im going to take my car to a mechanic that specializes in mustangs to get my TPS fixed and to get it tuned best as possible. I was thinking of dropping $100 to get a fuel pressure regulator at the same time good idea? I also noticed I get bad gas mileage mabye this will help a bit?

    Here are my mods:

    1994 GT.
    Lazer Red on Black. 58,000kms.
    World's Windsor Jr. Heads
    Ford Racing e303 cam
    Aftermarket Pistons, rods, lifters etc...
    Polished Cobra SVO Intake
    Edlebrock 70mm TB
    Flowmaster American Thunder Catback
    BBK Headers
    BBK Offroad H pipe
    BBK Cold Air Intake
    Eibach Pro Springs
    Steeda Shifter
    Slotted Front Discs
    3.55 gears
    18" Polished Cobra wheels
    Clear Corners
    FMS Wires

    What do you people think? How are areomotive? which are a better regulator? Will a 86-93 5.0L one work on my 94 5.0? Or do I need a specific one for 94-95 or how do they work for our cars?

    Thanks,
    Matt

    Yes, you need one. I have one from Maximum Motorsports but most guys run the Kirban.

    keep them comin on the kirban. i know both have been known to give out, the bbk/paxton/(whatever else they stamp it as) have many more cases from what ive heard. messing with the fuel mixture is something you need to do once you start getting into the mods you have

    I had the diaphragm rupture on my first kirban, three hours after i got it. Went back and exchanged it and have had that one on for 3 weeks and it has been fine so far.

    To answer your other question ... no you can't use a Fox body regulator on the SN95 rails. I don't exactly know why, you just can't.

    I am gonna get the Kirban FP regulator in a week or so too.

    True. Unfortunataly like so many other parts for our cars, these aftermarket pieces must be 94/95 specific. The Fox FPR's have 3 mounting bolts whereas the 94/95 regulators have only two mounting holes on the regulator itself. The Fox regulator will not fit properly.

    The Accel/Mr Gasket AFPR's are good units as well. From what I can see and have experienced I'd say you don't need one however the only real way to know is by hooking your car up to a wideband on a dyno to confirm this.

    Yea, with all the stuff you've got on your car - yes. Are you still running the stock 19# injectors??

    what do you guys think about the injectors...do you think a MAF would be a good upgrade?
