What is the stock fuel pressure? With or without vacuum on. I have a stock setup with the ultimate chip. I do have an adjustable regulator so I just want to confirm. I get a little hesitation from a stop and it seems like its rich.

I believe stock is 38-42 with vac line disconnected and plugged.

When I was using stock injectors & an ultimate chip I ran as high as 52 psi (boosting up to 21-22 psi.)

Normally w/a stock truck & chip, there is a hesitation, usually because the fuel pressure was too low, I had checked mine when it was all stock & the fuel pressure was 38 PSI, so I bumped up the pressure to 42 PSI & the hesitation went away, it was a lean hesitation.

Not all ultimates are the same though.

Well, I bought the Ultimate when they first came out, around 2000?

At that time Todd Austinson recommended 50 p.s.i. with the line off/capped.

I never liked the Ultimate chip for the very reason you described. It always had an off-idle stumble that I could never fix until Michael Hood reprogrammed the chip a few months back.

It FINALLY got rid of the off-idle stumble. Then, the screen on the box went blank, I didn't know which program I was running, and I had to ditch the Ultimate--couldn't find anyone to fix it.

Best,

No need to cap the port on the FPR. You can plug the hose if you want to eliminate the small vac leak that will be there while testing.

Fuel pressure to high over 46 w/o vac no bog but a dog off the line. 42-44 seems like the best all around.
