just set it at 42psi (stock) since without a wide band to monitor what your doing, a fpr isnt worth much. even with the wb o2, its not a smart idea to tune with fp anyways.

Finally got the rockers on ehh? Feel the difference on how easy it revs up?

Anyways, with the stock 19lbs I ran with 39 PSI.

I hear 37-40 PSI is good, It actually depends on the car and how it reacts.

Well you still need a light, what I did is just adjust it and test drove it till I was happy.

Took alot of trial and error. I got it right after about 6 tries.
