Awesome, thank you so much for that info. Does the LT1 come with a stock regulator somewhere already on it?

Aeromotive i believe makes a nice unit but its around if not over 100 bucks

Yeah, I’ve heard bad things about ACCEL in the past, both with their electronics and their fuel pressure units. If I ran anything, it would be Aeromotive, but like I asked sailor above, does the LT1 come with a stock regulator? I don’t plan on running anything outside of the stock engine for the first year or two, before an eventual bore out/stroke to 383 and a cam. But that is in the future, when I can buy an aftermarket if there is already a stock one on there.
