Doin the side job "Mustang Tuner" thing last week, long story short, my customer was having typical surging problems, but really nasty ones, anyway come to find out he "heard" you could raise your fuel pressure by, get this, he smashed the stock FPR in a vise, to, "raise pressure" and reinstalled with new gaskets and everything, after a week of loosing less hair than I already have! I find this out. Oh my god!, I thought I'd seen it all...........LOL!

That kind of stupidity is almost scary.

Why on earth would anyone with enough ability to remove and replace the FPR think that crushing it in a vise would somehow 'raise' the fuel pressure? Geez. If he smashed a piston does he think it would raise compresssion?

Never mind, I don't really want to know. I'll bet he voted for Gore.

Good clown-of-the-week story.

No! Mr. 5 0 it is most certainly scary, and to answer your question, because he "heard it from a friend", In my opinion the #1 reason so many entry level 5.0 owners get into so much trouble.....it's understandable though.

Of course he voted for GORE, didn't you, after all he invented the internet right. LOL!
