Fuel Pressure Regulator...which brand to use????
What fuel pressure regulator is better to use: B&M or Holly?? The B&M one is so much cheaper.....is it worth paying the extra bucks for the Holly??

I've used AEM and Vortech (same exact unit as the B&M). The AEM consistently lost pressure on the dyno with my motor, so I switched to the Vortech ($40) and it's worked perfectly ever since. Higher cost does not equal higher performance. This was my personal experience. My friends turbo GSR w/AEM regulator lost pressure after a hard run, so I stay away from their product because of those experiences.

So it sounds to me like AEM is shitty (Their intakes are good though). i think I am going to go with the B&M one. That company has been around forever and they must should have a good product.

Again, that was just my experience. Because it happened with 2 of their units, I've decided to stay away from their fuel components. We bought the regulators at the same shop, could have been a bad batch, but I'm not taking any chances. The Vortech has performed flawlessly for over 2 years, and it's much cheaper. (plus I painted it black, and it looks almost factory for when the hood gets popped by officer dick)

Yes, so is the Vortech, they're the same.

i am using the SARD fpr and have no complaints. A few of my friends also use the SARD fpr and have had no problems. I got mine for 140. Comes with either barb fittings or an fittings which allow you to run bigger fuel lines. I Have been running this in my hatch for about 4 months
