Bypass fuel pressure regulator systems

[1320racer]

so why ask if you're going to try it regardless of who says what? Answer...no matter how many tell you that all you'll see is a lighter wallet, the only opinions you are interested in hearing are those that agree with what you had already decided to do.

What do I know, my former Super Stock GT Firebird is quicker and faster than 99% that post here, has run a best of 8.72 @ 154 and 1.17 60 foot with a fuel system plumbed by Mike Pustelny using all Product Engineering components and NO bypass kit and my dragster has run a best of 7.18 @ 186 MPH without a bypass kit plumbed into it's regulator. Just imagine how much quicker/faster it would run with it.

I try things too, have for over 25 years, what I don't do is ask opinions on internet forums of what I have decided to do with my car, my $ and my time.

FYI, for those that missed it a previous post here, I have also run a Q-Jet for many years back in the 90s, atop my 600+HP at the time, 468 BBC, running as quick as high 10's with it in my 3900 lb. Chevelle. No PE pump, regulator or bypass. Ran a Malllory Comp 140 pump, filter and dead headed regulator and no issues what so ever.

Wanna compare dick lengths, do we? My car, also built by Pustelny, has gone 9.50s, with slightly more than half the cubic inches of your current engine. If your "former Super Stock car" ran 10.90s at 3900 pounds, mine should run 9.90s at 1000 pounds less. But wait, it's almost half a second quicker than that! But you know much more about how to make a QuadraJet car fast than I do, right?

mine's bigger and I do!

A 468 that only made 600 horse, maybe you DID need that bypass kit on that turd.Made more power than that with nearly half the cubes, and went 8.80's in an AX chassis car....big deal. You gave your response to the OP and he acknowledged it and actually thanked you. Beginning to see why the racers I've met that say they know you call you "Big head Ed" go figure. I'm amazed that you think your car having a faster E.T. means a damn thing to anyone but you, hows it fair to say a twin turbo small block on a 10 inch tire,,,, I can tell you. Not Good. Come join the ranks of lbs. per horse power, or lbs. per cubic inch and then tell us how fast your stuff is!

[1320racer]

your last three replies to this thread have been to me, not the op! Newsflash, this ain't my thread, answer his question or move on!

That said, I know what I know and what I know is my stuff is both quicker and faster than the OP's, yours and 99% of those that post here and somehow I do it without a pair of -3 hoses and a y block!

Oh and your claim that you met racers that "know" me and call me "Big head Ed" well if true, they obviously ain't friends and clearly jealous of my knowledge and my car's performance like you!

As far as "joining the ranks" I assume you mean the NHRA s***t show where you pay a premium for the privilege to race, yet are treated like red headed step children, forced to park in the weeds and the mud, be ready at a moments notice to race on a track/in conditions not safe and far worse than the typical test/tune day at your local track and best of all, race for purses/$ from the 1970s and we don't have enough bandwidth to go into all those racers who are cheating with illegal engines, body panels, etc. you know, the topics regularly discussed and debated for pages right here. Yet all some of you care about is seeing to it that DEEP staging stays illegal/not allowed. What a joke!

So those are the ranks you speak of? NO thanks, I'll pass as has most of my friends and competitors over the last 25 years!

Sooooooooo back to the topic... I'm still Still waiting for somebody that claims via pm to the OP, that they have improved their car's performance on the track by just adding this bypass to their regulator, to please enlighten me how a pair of -3 hoses plumbed into a regulator makes additional HP, enough HP to run quicker and faster as evident on the time slip because without it, there is NO quicker 60 foots and ET regardless of what John tells him or you, those without the conviction to post publicly and engage in reasonable dialog stating your OPINION based on your belief and JUSTIFICATION for choosing to spend your $ on a regulator bypass.

Mr. Ed, first I did give an answer to his question, as did you. I think everyone has "moved on" despite the fact that you cannot because the majority doesn't agree with you. Second, never said those racers were your freinds..to be honest didn't see why they would admit to knowing you. Third I'm not in the least jealous of you, your car, or your so called knowledge. News flash, having an 8 second car with a HUGE engine in it these days is more common than a cold...so easy even you can do it. BTW making 1.** horse per cube is childs play so keep playin.....

[1320racer]

you haven't moved on neither has the OP as evident by your replies to my posts and as long as that continues, I'll continue to reply and I'll continue to ask...

for somebody that claims via pm to the OP, that they have improved their car's performance on the track by just adding this bypass to their regulator, to please enlighten me how a pair of -3 hoses plumbed into a regulator makes additional HP, enough HP to run quicker and faster as evident on the time slip because without it, there is NO quicker 60 foots and ET regardless of what John tells him or you, those without the conviction to post publicly and engage in reasonable dialog stating your OPINION based on your belief and JUSTIFICATION for choosing to spend your $ on a regulator bypass.


As far as my cars performance, the fact remains that my cars are quicker than yours and 99% that posts here so not so common around here!

Will you two just quit?!?!! It has become nauseating.

[Dave Noll]

In the OP's original question, he was looking for "results" from 4 areas, not just ET/MPH. He also wanted to know if any had experienced steadier pressure or any annoying side effects.

I'm learning from Most of the people posting to this.
