Oh I believe it Tom... that's exactly what I meant. Your truck definitely
needs them as you run 11s and use a dry NOS system (I belive). And the
regulator is mandatory for weather changes... I know been there, done that. I
even ran as high as 70 ponds of fuel pressure on my 11.82 run in my Buick. : )
