Default Anyone USING the synchronic FPR?

Bout to purchase an FPR for the build but i can decide between Aeromotive A1000 and the Synchronic FPR. The synchronic is cool and stuff no diaphram and fully adjustable is cool but it may be overkill for my application... and its twice as much as the aeromotive.

Aeromotive is simple and proven to work but synchronic is the latest greatest if im not mistaken...

So im curious how many people are actually using the synchronic and what kind of results have you had? Is it reliable? any difference in performance over your last fpr? Any hp increase?

Just trying to make a well-informed decision

The synchronic FPR is a piece of S*!T. The adjustable FMU is one of the worst designs ever. We either had someting like 1:1 or 12:1 . We couldn't adjust anything inbetween. Instructions are just as bad. My own personal experience, not hear say.

I am sad to hear that; I thought the synchronic looked like a promising new part.

Anyone else have experience with the synchronic?

Yeah, that's why mine started spraying fuel all over the engine bay 2 weeks after I installed it. When I wanna increase power I'm going with larger injectors and keeping the stock FPR. expletive the aftermarket FPR.

Mine worked fine for about 2 weeks then the diaphram took a ****. I bought it a while ago when I was getting all the parts for my setup and it was on sale. So it was more than a year after I purchased it and they could do nothing for me. DO a search on it...some other guys have had problems...depending on which model it is.

Oh yeah, I had my fuel pressure set around 40 psi (lower than stock) because I was using 750s and only trying to make 300.
