pressure regulator?

I was curious about the stock pressure regulator verses an after market adjustable. Is there a HP gain available there if you have the air system and exaust done? I was just wondering if it would help any at 4500 rpm when i am pulling in the sand up hill?
Thanks,
BLACK

Black,

With the stock injectors maybe not. But, with the adj. regulator you will be able to switch to 19lb. injectors and then you will feel a diference.

Thanks John,
I just put in new injectors last year. It was sounding a lot like a diesel. I wish I would have thought to go to bigger injectors then. I seem to be running a little rich right now anyway. Thanks again

Black, you can still purchase an adjustable pressure regulator and turn the pressure DOWN around 2-3 PSI to lean the engine out a little to gain some HP...just keep an ear out for detonation.
