    Where is the best place to pick up fuel pressure & what is a good pressure to shoot for? Don't have flow meter, have roughly a 55 - 45 split between the hat and ports. Blown Hemi.

    from what i have done and been told, you can go down on the nozzle sizes over all and that will bring it up. You should be around 150 or higher.

    You need to make sure that your hat to port split stays no less than what it is now. I have always been told to keep it around 55 to 50 going to the hat.

    Hopes this helps

    its pretty easy to put a pressure gauge with a memory valve in your barrle valve if its an enderle, I believe its a 1/4" fitting.

    The most common numbers used for fuel pressure are right at the pump. We take it right at the fuel shutoff with a fitting that has a 1/8 npt thread.

    Your fuel spread seems odd , but more info is needed on your combo roots blowers gets most of their fuel thru the hat and screw blower are most thru ports ....

    Fuel pressure at the barrel valve is not the same as at the pump .

    hope this helps

    It depends on what you are trying to set (such as pump loop, high speed, pump saver, etc) and which metering valve do you have? K style or cube?

    Have a "K" valve and looking to make sure the pressure is high enough for the fuel to be atomized.
