Do you mean you're not running an ADJUSTABLE regulator, or you're not running an FPR AT ALL?

im not sure if i put this anywhere but i did install the new comp cams springs... double coiled and alot more pressure to insure no valve float.... I feel like an idiot listing to my freind that assured me that the stock srpings would hold when i wanted to throw on some better new ones! Ah live and learn... and my next project should go smooth seeing how i ran into alot of crap...and im not running a Fuel pressure regulator... thanks alot guys..... and do you know how to calculate the compression then?? because my gage says the 12:1 right on it like that but it may mean something else.. THANKS ALOT!

The valve springs just were replaced after that valve floated.... the thing is i listened to a friend and he told me i would be ok with the stock vavle springs and i had wanted to replace them.. oh well.. its all fixed now and i will get the upper intake on tomorrow and see how it runs and report back! also i am running a stock fuel pressure regulator. THANKS!

I'd love to see a picture of this gauge.

The only way to calculate your compression ratio is to know your bore, stroke, head gasket thickness, combustion chamber cc's, and the size of any notches in your pistons.
