    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Need Fuel Pressure gauge options

    I have a FASS and I had to put in a fuel pressure regulator to eliminate hard starts. The pressure I run is 12 psi at this pressure you could keep your existing gauge. I would connect the FASS and see if you need a regulator. My FASS runs about 15-17 psi at idle.
