I would like to know where mine is, thinking a trans is in my future first before any major mods. And yeah about the mobil dyno, that was just horrible. It was a joke.

Around 300 is a pipe dream with those mods. You won't see that without sticks. Just my .02.

But most mild trucks don't make almost 30lbs on stock stix tho. But I'm with you..I think 250 is realistic.we shall see! I am just curious honestly..

The 2 micron post pump filter may be an issue. I just changed mine and I am still seeing a pressure drop. Not as bad as before, but it is still there. I'm gonna check into going to a 10 micron post pump, and back to the 30 micron pre pump.

I checked mine Bill and its a 14 mic pre filter (33439) and 2 mic post filter (33528). They are Wix filters that were cross referenced from Bladwins that I got from Irate. I got the Wix filters from Fleetfilter.com. I haven't seen a drop in pressure yet, I change them once a year at 10 to 12K miles.

Maybe it's the pumps I use then. I'm gonna upgrade each part of my e-fuel system until I figure out what is causing this.

I set mine up to run two pumps if I need to, but I'm just running one. By "pumps" I meant the pumps I use to build my e-fuel kits. I have built 5 or 6 for myself and other people now, Byron being one of them, and he is seeing the pressure drop also. I need to figure out if it is the pump or regulator. Gotta be one or the other.

Well I guess add me to the list. Never noticed performace drop, but psi is set at 72 and after she runs, it'll be at 60ish. I better call that guy that built it...lol

I can't remember the filters I run off hand, but they're the same that TJ used in his write up.

OK, I see. Got me thinking that 2 mic might be to small? This spring before I take off I change my filters and I've never cut a fuel filter open. I'm tempted now, LOL

Those are the ones I was running originally....30 micron pre pump with water separator, and a 2 micron post pump. The only thing our systems have in common are the filters and regulators. I may try upgrading to an Aeromotive regulator and see what happens. Those cheap regulators may be the problem.

If you do, let me know what it looks like. I guess I could dig up the one I just changed out of the scrap metal barrel and cut it open.....if it's not full of water.

In diesel power they did an obs buildup.the SD replacement pump wouldn't keep up ..gsl392 fixed the issue. I got mine off eBay for like 89$.
Fwiw my needle never moves though it is slightly moved since I set the pressure..I think..but that was a year ago.I guess I should put the mech gauge on it and double check.I kind of would swap my 2mic filter to 10 mic.
Glenn.what pump does Jake include?
