Default What kind of power is a B&M FPR good for?

Like the topic says: How much WHP is the B&M regulator good for. I saw another post and was wondering if the one I have is too small to be used for my setup.

I dont know if you should count it as a power adder. I mean they are used to adjust fuel pressure.... But I suppose if you got on a dyno and played around with the fuel pressure you might make a few more ponies but the 02 will work against you to try and get the best mixture if you play with the fuel pressure enough.

Sorry for the confusion, but I meant at what WHP level can the B&M not keep up with the fuel rate needed. I'm almost done my b16 turbo stroker and it should be seeing over 500whp and I currently have a B&M and I just saw another post that made me think that maybe this fpr is too small for what I'm using it for. Anyone know of anyone using the B&M on high hp turbos?

500whp... hmm it may be in your best interest to get a better FPR (like aeromotive). Last thing you want is for your FPR to fail on you when you have the need for fuel.

actually above 80% throttle the o2 doesnt caculate fuel air....
