      Ricks tank low fuel pressure

      I have a ricks retromod tank in my 3rd gen nova with the 5th Camaro fuel pump that came with tank. Running a LS3. Gauge is showing 55-56 fuel pressure @ idle. Shouldn’t it be 58?
      -6an line.

      *Assuming you are relying on the regulator that they put in the module.* It should be some number around 58 and it sounds like it is. pressure regulation isn't really and exact science and then factor in the difference between actual and indicated pressures. I really wouldn't worry about it unless you see a significant drop in pressure at WOT.

      It’s off by less than 5% which is not too bad for a mechanical part like that measured with a sender that also has an accuracy tolerance.
