What psi for Fuel Pressure regulator

When buying an aftermarket fuel pressure regulator, what psi should I be looking for. meaning one that can handle up to what psi? This is assuming an upgrade to nitrous. thanks,

Scott

Get one that can handle up to around 100psi...a lot of them do. I'm assuming you'll also be upgrading your fuel pump. Also, make sure it's a fuel pressure regulator, not not a fuel pressure riser (like Stillen's).

Make sure it's made for Fuel Injection system. About half of fuel pressure regulator you see in catalogs are carb. applications. Get one that's universal. Here are few brands you can look into. XS engineering, Paxton, AEM and Aeromotive.
