Well, we finally got around to installing my second AEM FPR today. As most of you know, my first one was a factory dud, and held no pressure at idle. This one cranked up perfectly, and works perfectly. We set the FP at 36psi, but after driving it settles down to 34psi. I am told this is normal though. Man, it looks so purty in the engine bay. 
With the stock unit, I was running ~41psi. With the 7psi drop throughout the power band, It REALLY feels like i'm making more power. The car seems to pull slightly harder at 3400+rpm, especially in third gear. I rowed through the gears and was at 100mph before I knew it in third and had to shut down. The car has a little more pep to it. I can't wait to tune, I think i'm gonna get some huge gains with that, but I gotta wait till I make a decision on the intercooler, since that will require more fuel, thus making previous tuning a waste of $$$.

No pics, but its their universal one in blue. Looks really sexy. I used $60 worth of fittings from summit racing, and used Sx7r's adaptor.
