Ed - Yes, you did answer the question.

Mike, while I believe John builds the best fuel
Pumps available, it's No secret he's a bit of a nut and the reason his latest venture PE Fuel Pumps are not flying off the shelfs like his former company Magnaflow now Magnafuel.

John and I went a few rounds years ago with some of his claims and statements and John would have you put one of his 500GPH fuel pumps and a -10 line feeding it on a 300HP engine if you let hm with a bypass kit too.

My current carb is from Bob Book. He is quite picky about carb and fuel system setup.

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.

Thanks everybody, for taking the time to detail your experiences. I bought a bypass regulator a couple of weeks ago, but as some of you can probably guess, have been doubtful about what it will actually do for me. As a result, I haven't installed it yet (and may not). Thanks again to all.
