I need a better fpr, which one should I get?
ok, right now I have a b&m modified fpr. However I had to drill a relief hole in it to get my idle fpr back. At first this seemed like a good idea, but now I'm realizing that it wasn't. 1) I can't build enough pressure to start the car, so I have to give it a little gas to start. 2) by having that hole I'm losing fuel and in the end, lowering the net output of my pump.
So I want a better fpr. Which should I go with? AEM? paxton? aeromotive? Its not going to see high pressures, I just need something that goes for like 35-55 or so.

Yeah, I wish someone would have told me this was gunna happen! 
I've already written a letter to TOO telling him to put a note on the article of his that suggests this about what side effects happen.
Also, about the AEM fpr. Aren't there two? Inline holes and offset? Which do I need?

the aem doesnt hold pressure when the pump is not running either. It quickly drops once the pump turns off, you just have to be quick with the key.

I'm planning on getting an AEM fpr, does anyone have an answer to the difference between the inline holes and offset? Can anyone compare the AEM to the paxton?

As for pressure, mine holds pressure no problem. Stock pump right now and the AEM regulator. The regulator comes with 3 different sized restrictors for the return line (see this thread http://forums.clubsi.com/ubb/Forum12/HTML/009582.html )
I'm not sure which size is on mine (i'm out of town, away from my car for a week) but i have no problems at all with the pressure dropping right away (i've got an in-car fuel pressure gauge too)

You could tap the hole you drilled and put an allen set screw in. I did the same crap, and now that I am using the stock fuel pump, my idle pressures are way too low (19psi). I have a cartech FMU for a backup reg, so it works fine....idle at 35psi, no vac attached 50psi and 10psi boost at 65psi fuel......
