can it be used to increase performance, or just attain the 'correct' air/fuel mixture?

By tuning the regulator and getting an optimal air/fuel mixture you can acquire a few HP. But like I said, unless you already have a problem, it's not going to be of any benefit.

EDIT: It's just a tool....like any tool, you have to actually use it. You can't just slap it on and expect it to do anything.

My butt dyno says that my top end pulls slightly better with the fuel pressure dialed at 45psi @ idle. Again, the butt dyno says that.

If it was my car, I'd go ahead and put one on. It's a mod you can build around, and it will ALWAYS be beneficial for tuning!

I agree,its a good investment for the future.When I put in my fuel pump,I felt a little better top-end,not much just pulled a little smoother.
