Adjustable fuel pressure regulator?
Is there one available for a 5.8? I've found them for the 5.0 but doesn't look like it will fit on the 5.8. Or am I going to have to make the 5.0 fuel rails fit my 5.8? I need to up the fuel pressure to richen up the fuel ratio.

Both motors use the same regulator but there are 2-bolt and 3-bolt versions depending upon the year, earlier motors used a 3-bolt reg while the later motors were 2-bolt.
But be aware this may not be the simple fix you think it is, the computer will immediately counteract increased fuel pressure by reducing injector duty cycle while operating in closed loop.. which is most of the time. So the increased fuel pressure will only richen the fuel map when the motor is running open loop, but that's when you need it anyway.
