Don't mess with fuel pressure if you are tuned. If you turn it down to fix a rich idle your wide open throttle tune will be leaner than before. This isn't a car with a mass air meter, you have to be careful when making global changes to the fuel system.

Im agree with you better to be safe than sorry..

So ive done some test totay.new plug and spark plug wire verified my dizzy there was no oil or rust so ive still got the same issue but engine idle fine boost fine wot is at 12-12.2 afr...when i start my engine ive got 14.5-15.5 afr and when the engine is warmup the afr goes to 12-13.5 at iddle weird???? Idle fuel pressure is 51psi...vacuum is 20-22...plugs gapped to .28...i begin to think about idle valve or the tune or a bad wideband sensor!!???
