Fuel pressure gauge.

[Vettefan87]

Now maybe it is just me, but for some reason the car just doesnt run as fast as it should. I know it will probably get faster, but something just doesn't seem right. The car does not seem to hesitate more then it should, now that I cleaned the air filter. My brother thinks his car would rip me out of the hole, and keep pulling and pulling, or so he says maybe we need to just line them up... Where can I get a fuel pressure gauge to see where it is at? Can I go down to autozone and get one of theirs or should I order one?

why fuel pressure? the best way to tune fuel pressure is with AFR... If your AFR is in line, you are fine.... if it is out, you bump fuel pressure up or down accordingly. you really can't do much with just a fuel pressure guage, and it isn't even necessary if your AFR is on anyway... even if it is out of spec, you can adjust fuel pressure minimally to get AFR in line, and the pressure doesn't really matter.

do you have mega mods to your car? if not, it is probably within spec... if something feels off, try resetting the computer (unplug the battery for a few minutes) and see if it runs better. that may be a good place to start.

I have a AFR and the shop that put the motor back in set it. But they way the had the fuel pressure gauge set up was weird, gas and everything was leaking out of there gauge, and I just want to double check what it is.
