Because Ebay said they would get gains from them.

But honestly I dont understand these guys, you could've saved your money up for something that will actually help your car make more power like a nice header or cams.

well when you have multiple boltons it adds up so there will be some power gains.. maybe nothin big but the gain is there... only thing i have from ebay is a short ram intake which works just as good as an aem intake..... i have a full msd igniton in my car includin the 6a box and msd coil... 2.5inch full exhaust..ngk iridium plugs... ..b&m fpr ..dc headers and a skunk2 manifold ...and cams are on the way ... i go to the track often and race alot of my friends and i noticed a big difference from when my car was bone stock...... but its just my opinion.... everyone does not have money get a fully built head with a skunk2 valve train ..etc... but eventually i will get there..just an example

FPR is not needed for "multiple boltons" like the ones you mentioned. What is needed is a good EMS and a good tune. Especially with that manifold. Is your car tuned? Also, that ignition is a complete waste of money for the power you're making as well. Not trying to be a dick, I'm just trying to spread the proper information to save people money here.

Yup. If you got a piggyback and a tune, you could have used that to regulate the fuel without the need of an FPR. Maybe if you were running a turbo or something you could justify one, but not just intake and exhaust bolt ons.

No, there wont be power gains more fuel does NOT give you more power, but you do need more fuel to make more power. Take the MSD out, it is just going to ruin your coil, cap, rotor and ignitor twice as quick and cost you more money in the long run. I would get a new header before you get cams.

350whp here, OEM FPR.

And I would rather have a piece of dog crap regulating my fuel pressure than the B&M piece. Aeromotive or go home.

i agree with most of what you are sayin... and the car is getting tuned after the holiday... but there is a noticeble difference in my car from when it was stock ..so you cant possibly say that boltons dont add power

No one said bolt ons done add power.

They said an FPR isn't going to add any power with the bolt ons you've got.
A GOOD dyno tune will get you more power.
