When I ordered the carb I asked about the regulator bypass setup. He said if you data log fuel pressure you would certainly see an improved fuel pressure reading. He also stated that on track they never saw any positive gains from the bleed system.
His opinion is if you already have it, use it. Otherwise it's not worth the time/money to purchase and install.

it obvious that no matter how many tell you that all you'll see is a lighter wallet, the only opinions you are interested in hearing are those that agree with what you had already decided to do.

Still waiting for somebody that claims via pm to the OP that they have improved their car's performance on the track by just adding this bypass to their regulator, to please enlighten me how a pair of -3 hoses plumbed into a regulator makes additional HP, enough HP to run quicker and faster as evident on the time slip because without it, there is NO quicker 60 foots and ET regardless of what John tells him or you, those without the conviction to post publicly and engage in reasonable dialog stating your OPINION based on your belief and JUSTIFICATION for choosing to spend your $ on a regulator bypass.
