[DML] Re: Performace fuel system

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

By shimming the spring on the Primary Pressure Regulator you can
increase the pressure a little which would increase fuel flow. I know
it isn't much but it IS one of the tweaks that can be done to increase
fuel delivery. Other more radical mods would be to change the notches
or the plunger inside the fuel distributer or even changing it to a
model that flows more fuel. Changing the injectors could also help if
necessary. The main problem is it is a mechanical system. To make
tuning changes you have to either modify or replace actual parts. That
is the most impressive feature of an EFI. You can adjust it all kinds
of ways without even getting your hands dirty!
