So, what I'm getting is its safe to do the BB mod without checking the fuel pressure? I dont have a gauge and I have no idea where my "Schrader" valve is. lol..Is it under the seat?

It is right below the area of topic. It looks like a bicycle tire valve. AKA: Schrader Valve.

Take a look at the first picture I posted above.
The schrader valve is next to the black plastic plug

Thanks for your help Cuda, I found it and i'll be checking my fuel pressure next day or two. Can you or anyone tell me the procedure? ie: what rpm's should the fuel pressure be checked at and what are acceptable "normal" pressures. Also, whats the low pressure threshhold where I know I should go ahead and add a BB? Thanks in advance. Ed 95 F-250 model A-215

Is this the junk I get for not reading one whole thread in this entire Forum......You two run and hide in the corner and bash the living daylight out of me. William you are blackballed, Cody is too cool to blackball so he gets a slide on this one!!



Ed to answer your question I would add the BB if you pressures are under 55 psi. If they are there or over the BB may put it too high but it still might be worth a try. I think 65 is the sweet spot, In my opinion up to 75 is acceptable.

Oh yeah, you can check it with a regular tire psi gauge that goes at least to 80psi. It's a little messy, but works fine.

What? getting a pimp name or the FPR shim???

Sorry....Shimming the Fuel pressure regulator may or may not make a noticeable difference but generally it will give you a little better throttle response. Some claim more seat of the pants power too. Its a small mod but little changes are good that are free.

Now getting a pimp name that is a major change.......

This thread flew waaaaay off the handle a long time ago. But I think we are doing a good job injecting need info along the way.......Treacherous Cuda Luthor....LOL I love it. Some things never get old.

Tim, I like the new name, but you will forever be "Devious Honey Reverend Timothy Smoove" in my mind.
