At times, in demand situations such as high acceleration, the engine needs more fuel. Rather than program a second set of fueling parameters to deal a special situation, one can take another route to the same place by using mechanics rather than ECU programming. In this case, these regulators are used. By having it react to engine vacuum (hose to the plenum), you can have it increase or decrease the fuel pressure on demand. In doing so, you are injecting more fuel though the injector duration remains the same.
