    I've been told to only use the white spring. That's what I have in my 455.

    For $20 TA has an adjustable

    Should buy a booster plate too, which will help save your cover.:TU:

    Use the white spring, that should be the 60 pounder. Don't use the red, your pump will try to make 100 psi:eek2: An adjustable regulator with a stock spring is an even better idea.
