    They do not have one, your car uses a return less fuel system. There is a sensor that the eec relies on to adjust the fuel pressure.

    Hey would you put an adjustable fuel pressure reg in the system or would the tune take care of it well enough?

    To be honest I am not the person to give you a qualified answer as I have not ever played with a returnless system. It would be an easy deal to do, just get the parts off of a sn95 3.8 car. You can also get the replacement parts new, not sure on the fuel rail though, that should be available in a wreckers.
    The parts should work from any 1994/98 3.8 mustang. You then would need to get an adjustable fpr.

    Are you sure it doesn't have a pressure reg in the tank? Most return-less systems do.

    Converting from a returnless to a return style might be a good idea unless you wanna depend on a bigger fuel pump and probably a boost a pump. Fuel system solutions for a 03-04 cobra might be a good place to look whether you stay returnless or go return style

    Yea I have a Deatchwerks lph 340 and I believe as long as I stay under say 450 (which is the plan anyway) the returnless should be fine. Pulling from a Cobra system is a really good idea tho I'll def check tht out. Do you know about f.p.regs for returnless? And I'll have to look into boost pumps.
