Now you, well see there are certain things that make engines run like stallions and then theres some that run like 200,000 chevy, ha bet chevy guys are loving that. any way, when you tinker with the air and fuel you have to watch that lean and rich(get a fuel mixture gauge) now if you are bogging down a little i think you are running rich(to much fuel not enouph air) to fix this yes FUEL PRESSURE REGULLATOR. adding more fuel is good as long as you get the air you need. remember that a 190lph fuel pump is for 800+ cfm, which is a roots blower, i think you need to send the pump back because if to much pressure builds up the injector will crack. your clutch cable is a little wore out. i suggest that you get a new cable,throwout bearing,adjustable clutch quadrant,shifting fork. the quadrant will take that play that you talk about plus its metal and a stock one is plastic,no chance of a break. also remember that you want a one inch or slightly over under for your clutch play. if you need any further help jsut give me a beep, or email i might have some good ideas for your engine.

The stock fuel pressure regulator will work with the 190 lph pump. It sounds like your combo needs to be dyno tuned to perfect the A/F ratio. Also how many break in miles do you have on these parts ( engine, clutch, etc...)? You need at least a couple hundred miles before it will be OK to race it, IMO. What is your timing set at? Stock is 10* advanced, you should be able to run 13-14* with no problems, but remember with advanced timing listen for detonation, and use premium fuel. Detonation is very bad and will blow that new motor, it sounds like a pinging sound and if your exhaust is loud you may not be able to hear it too good. Adjustable clutch cable and quadrant is a good mod for anyone. Good luck and feel free to ask more questions.
