First time out at strip today, very consistant 13.30s at 98mph with a 1.81 60 ft. Checked the log and actual rail press was a steady 17,000 ?!?!?!?! I REALLY need to figure out whats up with that! I'm certain that with press would come some mph and 12s!?

well mine is in the same boat but not as easy of a fix. if only it were a race valve but i need a CP3 :(. Good luck and it should put you right there if the rail pressure comes up!

Can u lose fuel pressure with the bleed screw. Have found a lil bit of fuel sitting right behind the screw.

you would lose a little LINE pressure maybe if its leakin bad enough to leave drips under truck. but i'm talkin about RAIL pressure. If its just seeping from bleed screw you arent losing anything as long as you have a lift pump, without it you would be sucking in air to the cp3

Is the race valve better than the shim kit? Gitting the CODE! 0087 one race tune gets the code while the other doesnt?? Just started, did get tuner to change tuning so need to try it out. New filters all around. Getting a fuel rail gauge also. Would changing the AD150 spring from 8psi to 15psi hurt anything?

The problem with just shimming the FPRV is that over time it can get so weak that it will still pop open... I have had the Race Valve in for a few years now with not a single issue. Best 50$ i have spent

Do you mean FRP from a log? I have a stock truck, mine has spiked close to 30,000 psi, mine doesn't hold either, but asking for 24K I don't get below 22. LBZ should be way over 17,000 IMHO, unless your PW is crazy.

Yea i have a pretty big pulse width so it isnt holding very well. UPDATE: I fixed the race plug changed all filters hit track again and BAM! Still have low pressure! :banging: I'm done!.......don't wanna spend mony on new cp3, so i'm moving on and gettin a Hayabusa! Hopefully that will satisfy my need for speed! :thumb:
