It depends what else was done to the car. For instance if the
plug temp was different, exhaust flow, intake flow, changes to
the MAF or related sensors.... the list goes on and on.To say that an AFPR can't make a difference, you would first
have to know if the rest of the cars modifications had left it
starving for fuel, leaned the mix, etc. It is possible to change
the amount of fuel entering the cylinder per cycle quite a bit
by over pressuring the injectors (not a great idea because it
can wear them out/make them leak), in turn compensating for
another modification that might be causing it to run lean or at
a different rate. The car might not be "broken" as people
trying to have a pissing match are arguing, but simply in need
of an offsetting adjustment due to a previous change. Now, if this argument is about a bone stock Z, and getting a
benefit from an AFPR, it can, but only if it is doing something
to make up for a deficiency. The factory AFP should be giving
plenty of fuel for the RPM band, but if it is stuck, the AFPR
could simply be fixing that problem. Also, you could be running
lean or rich and correct that issue with it as well. In summary, don't buy an AFPR just because you think it's a
performance modification. Buy it because you either need a
new FPR and want to save money replacing it in the future, or
you have other mods that are requiring it.
