Bypass fuel pressure regulator systems

nhramnl · 11-30-2015, 10:44 AM

I tend to agree with Joe's post. I will probably install the kit and will definitely post the results (positive, neutral or negative). Just as it can be installed, it can also be removed if it does nothing, or hurts the car. There are people (some of them very recognized in the sportsman ranks) who say the kit does help in many (but not all) cases, so I'll look at it as an experiment.

Well Mike, I for one would like to hear from these "very recognized people in the sportsman ranks", what their definition of "help" is and IF by help they mean their car/your car has/will run quicker/faster, then I would like them to explain how by the addition of just a regulator bypass, your engine/ their engine magically made or will make 20-30 or more additional HP, which is what's required with the cars/engines discussed here to show an improvement of a tenth and 1MPH on the time slip.

Man, you are a feisty one, aren't you? OK, first, it is not my place to name names, unless the people in question specifically give me their OK to do so. Second, you would recognize every single one of them, by name, as an established performer in sportsman drag racing. Third, nobody has ever said anything about a tenth and/or 1 MPH. As I'm sure you know, the gains of a tenth and a mile-per-hour stop coming WAAAAAY before a serious class racer quits spending money. As a matter of fact, the most expensive gains of all are near the "end" of the sorting-out process (though there really is no end to it). Racers will spend thousands of dollars, in hopes of picking up a few hundredths. Think Honda rod journals, and then talk to a really experienced engine builder about how much gain you actually get for the crazy expensive outlay..

Oh, and by the way, I'm done talking about this now. As I said previously, I sought out the counsel of many helpful, experienced racers, both on and offline. I have received a number of responses and based on those responses, my specific combination and the price of the parts, plan to give the system a try. If in your opinion, I'm an idiot, take comfort in the fact that I'm spending my money, not yours. Thanks very much for weighing-in on the subject.

The reason why the unnamed "very recognized people in the sportsman ranks" are PMing you is because they can't defend their nonsense claims!

Next, if not a tenth/1MPH how much? Half a tenth and half a MPH? Doesn't matter, the addition of a bypass on your regulator makes exactly ZERO additional HP which means your car ain't running any quicker/faster than it's typical swing from pass to pass on any given day. Last, I never stated you're an idiot nor do I care what you do with your $, time and car.

Some things never change....sad. Please allow the gentleman to do as he pleases with his car, making blanket statements about something of which you don't currently race is merely your opinion. I'm sure he is aware of your thoughts on the subject. I've had many PM's on different subjects for the exact reason we are seeing here.

please inform me how offering advice on an internet forum stops anyone from doing what they want with their car.
