You bought an adjustable fuel pressure regulator and you didn't try to adjust the fuel pressure? Just turn it down until pressure is at the stock (or driveable) level.

Yes it is OK to drive.. but not far. Get a FPR and tune it.

Go with what Hawk says, too much fuel can wash your cylinder walls of oil which is nicht gut
