Default Is a FPR worth it?

My mods are listed in my sig. I will also have a coursound cat, and apexi vafc or fields sfc vtec controller soon. My question is do I really need a FPR? I will be taking my car to the dyno, but I dont know if it is worth spending the money on a FPR.

if you're going to the dyno then yes, a B&M is a good/cheap one to get.

since you plan on purchasing an vafc/fields, you will be able to adjust your fuel w/ any of the two units.

I realize that I can fine tune the fuel map with the vafc or fields sfc. and a fpr cant really fine tune but lean out or richen throught the whole powerband. Since I can fine tune with the vafc, will I rally need a fpr?

you only use FPR if you need more fuel but don't want to spend money on larger injector. Your injector life will also be shortened and there is a greater chance for the fuel to leak past the injector seals.

Its better to get larger injectors and having a stand alone unit control the duty cycle.

good point. this is where hondata comes in...not a stand alone...but 10x better for tuning than vafc..and since your car is a 95, about the same price.
