   If your car is in need of additional fuel you are better off having a measured input where its needed rather than forcing more in at all revs
   
   Get a remap.. this is a poor mans botch

   exactly why a remap? if the car is underfuelling then the problem is deeper rooted.

    I wasn't implying that the car is underfueling.. just that if you need more in the map due to other mods then the best way is to tweak the fuel map.
    
    A RR will be able to show whether a car is running lean anywhere on the power curve.

    gmc uprated fuel pressure regulator.
    
    stay well clear of fse boost valves, they need to be properly set up with the mods on your car to run at a specific pressure. even then there is little to prove that they are a well worthy mod for the money.
    
    better off getting an uprated gmc FPR and a free power unit from them to
    will help with fueling and unleash a few ponnies
