So true.

Apparently some people have problems with the stock pressure regulator at some point... usually because it's not shiny.

I've run the stocker 500+ whp, you tell me.

agreed. you get to a point where huge injectors dont spray properly at low pressure. my 1200's actually idled better at 52 psi static, than 47 psi static. i cant immagine them at 37 psi. fuel pissing in in raindrop sized drops.

AFPR are bought for a variety of reasons.
If your fuel pump is too strong and over-running your stock FPR, If you need to bump up your FP to accomodate A/F ratios from forced induction and larger injectors.
