A friend has an '87 GN and has ordered a Thrasher 92 chip. Will an adjustable FP regulator (set at 45#) and stock fuel pump without a hot wire kit provide enough fuel? This car is all stock except for AFPR.

Jim: 87 GN with: TA-49/PTE .63 housing; stock motor, transmission and converter; MSD 50#; CAS V-4; 3" DP; ATR 2.5" SS exhaust; 62 mm Hemco; Translator w/3" MAF; Bigmouth air system; SMC alcohol; Walbro 340; BFG DRs; and Extender 100 chip with 21* timing. Best ET/mph with w/93 octane + alcohol were 11.961/117.05.

Not recommended. I think most will agree...Easier putting a fuel pump in than head gaskets.

I can speak from experience on this one as I tried the exact same thing - AFPR, Thrasher 92, Stock Pump. NOT the way to go. I agree with 87gnjoe it is not worth taking a chance. Racetronix usually has a special for about $160 on a Walbro 340 with hot wire kit. I installed it on mine and would recommend it.
