what kind of mods do you have? If you are stock, you dont need an FPR. You have enough fuel already.

You don't need a new FPR because the stock one is still doing its job fine. Why do you think you need one?

Your thinking on FPR's is backwards. An undersized FPR gives you too much fuel pressure, not too little.

Not all aftermarket FPR's are rising-rate.

change it when you get a standalone....

stock one works fine. increasing fuel pressure is not the correct way to add fuel. get bigger injectors.
