I just put in a new holley 255lph high pressure pump, aeromotive adj fpr and a mech. fuel press. gauge. When my car is running at idle my fp is at 24psi no matter how i turn the screw on the adj fpr, when i rev it drops to about 22psi. Doesnt this sound pretty friggin low or is it normal? What do i need to do whats wrong?
When its cold it has a hard time starting but when its warm its fine, it feels alot slower and anything under 1,800rpms of steady throttle cruising is just surging if i alowly accelrate it doesnt buck or surge but that could be because of the B-cam. Before all this it started just fine when cold but had trouble once it was hot, accelration was great and low rpm cruising wasnt near as bad.

Sounds like a bad fpr, if you can adjust it and there's no change. Shoulda' bought a Kirban.

aaa probably bad fpr... have you disconected the vacume hose on top of the fpr and adjust? or you just adjusted the pressure... if you didn't know you have to disconect the vacume hose....

As they said, remove the vaccuum hose, if so, then possibly a bad FPR. Kirban
