Default Is the new Aerospeed AFPR as good as the B&M one?

On group buy they have an aerospeed AFPR and Gauge for $65 +$8S/H and a billet aluminum B&M one for $90. The difference is only $15 dollars, but is the B&M one better or crap? Also is there a prefered brand other than these two? Thanks

Go with the B&M, aerospeed tends to be crappy stuff. B&m has been around since the muscle car era.

That's what I'm talking about, thanks for the advise. I was leaning toward the B&M. Maybe see if I can find vortech's one. AFPR Ajustable Fuel Pressure Regulator. After I put my Header cat and catback I'll need a little more fuel. What's a good pressure to put it at? There is no dyno available down here

maybe it is just me but I heard that you really don't need to start messing with the fuel system till you have done major work like forced induction.

It's just a pressure regulator, I am retaining my stock pump, lines, injecters and rail. An engine needs air, fuel and spark.
I increased the airflow and on a speed density EFI setup bumping the FP is more critical because there is no sensor to monitor the airflow, the computer bases the fuel on the O2 sensor and the stock chip not theairflow.

Anyone know what kinda gains an AFPR will do for an IHE EX? I expect at least a 2hp gain, just not sure what psi to adjust the regulator to.
