Keep it low and save 5psi if there is no FMU or Hondata. With fmu and hondata you can run9-10 save. Try a fish tank is kind of like a missing link sometimes it works better but definitely you ecu is reading boost!!

A 12:1 FMU, for example, will increase fuel pressure by 12 psi per psi of boost. It is recommmended that a 10:1 or 12:1 ratio FMU be used in order to ensure that the A/F mix will not be lean. Try vortech!

man screw the fmu. At least get an afc or something and run some 450cc injectors. The fmu is just gonna make you run really rich...its still better than what you have now though
