Default Is anyone using a Fuelab FPR?

[IMG][/IMG]Just wondering if anyone uses one of these Fuelab fuel pressure regulators from U S and A? ..or any experience good or bad with these things?
The setup is custom high flow rails and -6 lines for a new motor.

Genuine SARD regs are proven to work very well.

Okay Ross but how about this as an alternative?
It's cheaper and so are Aeroflow and AEM fpr's. The latter is stocked by Real Street Performance which is worth mentioning

U can get a sard fpr with connector from rhdjapan.com for less than that minus the gauge anyway.

I've heard of issues with Sard regulators (the small common ones) if used with large fuel pumps; having difficulty returning enough fuel to the tank at light load and/or idle.

I used an Aeromotive due to not having this issue, and the dual inlets suited my parallel fuel rail configuration.

I recommend the Aeromotive based on experience with their products.

Ah I see. So you essentially used it as a distribution block to supply left and right.
Thanks for your input
