Adj FRP: pressure dropping after key on, but no leaks

[DARK-5.0]

I just installed my old school paxton afpr and keyed it on to check pressure and it reached the pressure, but then I noticed it started bleeding off rather quickly. I'm new to adjustables so I dunno if thats normal, but with the stock, it would hit 38 and just sit there until over a long period of time would it bleed off. Just wondering if this is normal for a afpr.

Some leak off and others dont. If the car runs ok then I wouldn't worry.

Well I'll know tomorrow if it runs ok or not. I just finished fixing a lower intake vacuum leak, so I'll fire it up tomorrow. I found gcomfx's thread with some info in it so if it doesn't run, the afpr is just bleeding off and I'll just put the stocker back on for now.

Shaun is right - the aftermarket units tend to bleed off quicker than stockers. And this is not all bad - we dont need those lines under pressure when the car is off. As long as it holds pressure while the pump is running, that would be my biggest concern.

Good luck.

Thanks Grady. I just wanted to make sure that it was normal condition and not a bad fpr. We'll find out tomorrow and I'll post the results.
