fpr = fuel pressure regulator.. if you look in the pic you will see a small bras vac. line thats open, that needs a boost source so the fuel pressure rises with boost.. very important..
also when boosting your IDA you need to replace your brass float with a solid one so it dosnt crush under boost.. luckily i sell the solid IDA floats

what's the max boost a stock 12a can handle safely? Mine was built by Rob at pineapple and as some extras but I want to stay within the area of a stock 12a. Safer that way.

14 PSI?! That's alot man, what would that make in power? 200~250HP? Can the rear-end even handle that? What about the transmission?

680RWHP12A ------>

I know about the vacuum line.. right now I am just finishing attaching all the lines and vac sources.

it does not drive yet...... not enough time for the widebody and the Frankenstein

but by the weekend I will attempt to get her running..

going to be locking the dizzy today.

and tapping an oil return fitting sometime weds, thurs.

also would a GSL-SE pump be enough for fuel?
