    What kind of fuel pressures are you guys getting as well? I 'd like to know if you're running a mechanical or electric pump as well.

    I'm putting up 5psi with a Purelator electric but I'm not sure what the volume (cfm) is.

    That is more than enough for street use. I know a lot of people regulate down to 1 1/2 or 2 lbs. for offroading.

    With the Dauntless I ran the Puralator, and IIRC didn't need above 2 PSI for street use. I just kept dialing it back and test driving it - when I stomped on it and the Jeep stumbled I bumped it back up a notch and all was well.

    Marc: That was discussed a few days ago here on the Board.

    It all depends if you're running a machanical (with or without the return line) or an electrical.

    My stock mechanical puts out 3 lbs or so with the return line blocked. With it open it's about 1.5 to 2.5 lbs. Works fine so far. :)
