IMO just go to a tractor supply or equivalent, and get a 4-40 socket head screw, and a piece of hose, couple clamps, and a cheap pressure gauge, shim it, check it, and be done for cheap. Thats what i did, theres a write up somewere for it, if you do a little searching, I dont remember the site off hand, but I could probably find it again.

Thats a pretty nice looking unit, it looks like it you just put it inbetween the filter housing and return line. Atleast judging by the fancy 180 degree adapter on the one end. You must just take the factory regulator out somehow?

thats what it said...if you keep the factory regulator .. it said you can put it back to stock in 20 minutes...it is a nice unit..i need to up grade my HPOP to a 17* first..i dont want to mess the 15* up i have now by shimming asking for more fuel pressure...if that is possable..

TNT, I have searched as well and all I can come with is DI's kit, most everyone uses the 4-40 screw or BB, I myself really like the DI's kit..Dfuser sells the 4-40 version here in town..Good Luck.

When you shim the fuel pressure regulator, you dont actually change anything in the HPOP, you just have more fuel pressure at the injectors, and in the fuel bowl, which in theory would flow into the injector faster, and possibly squeeze a little more fuel into it, which gets to be important at higher rpms. So it really shouldnt affect your 15* HPOP, because your not really doing anything to it. atleast IMO
