It will help, but it won't prevent it. When I run off-road I drop mine down to about 1.5psi. I run about 3-3.5 on the street. 2.7 psi is fine though. You'll just have to fine tune the fuel mixture a bit after regulating it down.

real easy, but you need a fuel pressure gauge on it to know what your adjusting to.

summit racing has some cheap reliable ones. 1" or 1 1/2" and I think a 1/8 npt fitting is what you'll need. You can screw it right into the other available port on the regulator.
