Best FPR for the Max?

I have heard of org. members going w/ aftermarket fuel pressure regulators like: SARD, Paxton, AEM, and others.

Those of you who have them (on a 5th gen) offer comments on which ones have given problems and which ones have been trouble free. I want to pick the best one for my N2O setup.

Since my post is 5th gen specific, I felt it might get a better, and more pertinent, response here. (Plus, a lot of folks only utilize the forums that are specific to their cars, and never see the general.)

Understood.


This may or may not help.


Based on the lack of history/responses in this forum, it may be difficult. Personally, I would just ask Keving.

Yea, I did that search; I was hoping I could get a more general concensus amoung members.

I know you have to have an upgraded fuel system to run all that power you do. Right? So do you just rely solely on your Apexi to control your A/F?

I'm using a Vortech fuel management unit with their inline fuel pump and the Walbro in-tank fuel pump. The OE FPR is still on the car.

irvine78 has custom B&M Dual Fuel Pressure Regulators. A few 4th gen guys run Sard.

I don't do research on things I'm not interested in.

UPDATE
I ended up going with a SARD, and the off fittment kit from member sx7r. It worked out perfectly. Total cost about $160 shipped.
