It's got an adjustable screw right on top. This raises/lowers Fuel Pressure.
(this is from my turbo Altima, as it's a decent picture in relation to showing it)
That screw on top adjusts the base fuel pressure for your car.

Neither am I, so I excuse my tone persay -- I often type things bluntly. My point does stay the same though abotu the Nismo units. Certainly objects fail...I mean even new cars blow up...but that should not be taken for the norm.

I run stock pressure as well. That's not so much the importance of the FPR in our situation. Certainly it can help make a global correction, but the main job is to provide reliable 1:1 fuel to boost delivery (one psi of fuel per one psi of boost) compared to the stock on. Will the stock one work? Certainly, to a degree. Most stock cars won't have an issue. Some 300/400 hp guys dont' either. The fact remains that it's still a 1:1 regulator, just without adjust ability.
I think that is where we were confused with each other, honest internet mistake

When the track opens i will be able to tell you all first hand exactly what happens. Probably start with 110 octane and about 23psi and see where we go from there. If i need the meth at that point i will use it and if i dont, i wont.

My point was (again just a mis understanding on both our parts) that while you may have a stock regulator, it still raises fuel pressure 1:1 like Nismo does. The issue is, stock ones are known not to control higher pressure situations well.
And again, I never want to wish for anyones car to have an issue - in the same respect I also am not going to wish luck on a wishy washy idea - I'd rather you be safe than sorry. If it works, great. Awesome. Congrats - but that doesn't make it right foreveryone. Trust me, when I saw I sprayed a 150 dry shot through the MAF of a rental Grand Marquis, it worked....would I sugest all owners to do this? Certainly not.
