Upgrading FPR...AEM vs B&M
Which do you guys prefer?
Im leaning towards B&M simply because its half the price of AEM...
Comments? I searched around, I didnt find much, or anything bad on either item.

Ive had the B&M before and it was fine i never ran into any problems with it but im running the AEM unit now. the only difference in the two IMO is the quality, where the B&M unit attaches to your stock FPR while the AEM is a whole separate unit which replaces your stock FPR.
Yeah as the person above said, the B&M is an add on to the stock fuel pressure regulator. I have the AEM fpr, and its great...very adjustable and quite good looking too.
Go with the B&M. However, I'm not sure what you mean by "upgrading". Unless your car needs the extra fuel and it is tuned correctly, you won't see any gains just by switching to an aftermarket unit.
you get what you pay for, the B&M is limited and i have seen many that have crapped out , if anything goes wrogn with the AEM they replace it , also you can buy the parts to rebuild it. im on 3yrs on mine and no probs. and much more versitile for ever growing set ups

No, the B&M allows settings below stock pressure as well.

I'm not certain what you're trying to say. Both B&M and AEM allow you to adjust fuel pressure. They perform the same function, it's just that B&M utilizes some of the stock components, while the AEM is a complete replacement.

But you have yet to explain the differences you claim in their functions.

one is a riser and one is a regulator, the aem can go upto like 160 psi and with all rebuildable parts, and replacement parts and tweaks for diff pressures.
the b&m is a riser, it hould not go below the stock poressure and from B&M claims they only go to 60psi

Yes, the AEM is a heavier-duty unit, and obviously has the advantage of being able to be rebuilt and "tweaked". However, in most situations, both will provide the exact same function, as I have said. I have seen a B&M adjusted to below-stock fuel pressure levels. There are differences in the capacities and designs of the units, but to say that they do not perform the same basic function is simply incorrect - similar to stating that a DC Sports header does not perform the same basic function as an SMSP piece. I think you are mis-using a term that the company itself does not even apply to its product. The B&M unit still "regulates" fuel pressure, as does the AEM.
