doesnt an fmu and fuel pressure regulator do prettymuch the same thing??

sounds like that might be your prob,
either that or you have something installed incorrectly.

quite common, your probably maxing out your stock injectors.

do u have a inline pump? if you dont then thats the problem. at 9si times 12 your at 108 psi. plus idle fp. no stock fuel pump can support that.

thats my guess.
a tad more info on your setup and im sure we can tell u why

Well, first off, 32 miles for 5 sounds like you're running rich. Lean would be where you get 3200 miles on $5.
