Fuel pump and regulator Questions

Thinking about upgrading the FP and adding a Reg. to my GSL-SE.
Those of you that have upgraded your fuel pump what brand did you use?
Likes / Dislikes

What about adding a pressure regulator with guage?
Brand, likes and dislikes?

What PSI are you running? FI? Carbs?

Thanks

My fuel pressure regulator is set at 4.5 psi and it is perfect. Just the other day i kept my car in first pullin away from a stopsign and let the RPMs build up slowly to see how it feels. It was really smooth up to 7000rpm where i cruised at that for a couple seconds. No high end power fade with my setting. Intake setup in signature.

Walbro 255 inline fuel pump. Installs just like a stock unit. For a stock GSL-SE the Walbro 190 lph pump wil do.

An aftermarket FPR is necessary for the 255. I used an Aeromotive A-1000-6. Runs 28.5 psi at idle.

No problems with either.
