What does a fuel regulator do for your car. I understand how regulators work, but how do they increase performance on a stang.

Thanks

It maintains a steady pressure in the fuel rail. You can bump up an AFPR to simulate a bigger injector if need be. On a stock stang it would be worthless b/c under WOT your a/f ratio is like 2:1 and unable to burn anywere near all that fuel.
