The FPR will let the presure rise a little. It rises at a rate of 1:1 ( 1psi of boost = 1psi of addictional FP ). I have the $180 in car FP gauge in my car with the factory 92-95 FPR and it starts at about 38psi and stops at 45psi which is about right since I'm running around 6.5psi..

And no the FPR doesn't close all the way !!! My zex kit uses the factory FPR to up the fuel presure to 75-80ish psi when I hit the nitrous ( with the factory fuel pump too ).

Even N/A cars use the FPR to add fuel presure under acceration. Just not as much as FI cars do.
