  • Raising fuel pressure doesn't raise HP

    Well I tried. I raised the fuel pressure in the car to 50psi at idle and all it did was lower my mpg and the poor little check valve got the crap beat out of it. So the pressure is now back to 47psi. Even with the ram air it just doesn't get enough air to burn the extra fuel.

      Computer was reset. What difference would changing the o2 sensor make? All I noticed when the fuel pressure was raised is that it makes the car run more rich and I could see that on my air/fuel gauge.
