there has been people making 300 to 350 on the fmu and afc...but if i were you i would read on the pgmfi forums and on here and you will find all the information you need to chip you ecu and those programs are free and will do a million times better than the the fmu and the hack

Your going to need a afc to control those injectors with the FMU.

so with my rc310's,fmu12:1, miss-link,255intank it should be good enough with the 8lbs for now or no.....

BEcause i have been herein that with the 310 and 12:1 u would need the v-afc to regulate the injectors .....

No. you can use the 310cc and let the FMU do its work for now for 8psi.... Remember, it is a RISING RATE regulator, and will only increase fuel pressure when you're in positive boost.

No need to go for the hack. At that point, you might as well save some money, and get serious management

Well your buddy must be driving like an idiot and his set up was proably junkyard turbo. And the motor was on the verge of breaking.

Running a FMU w/ STOCK injectors will be fine at 7-8psi, you'll be runnig rich, but safe.

Were trying to help him, none of that "my friends, dad's uncle's stepmother's husband's grandmother's son's friend's buddy" if it aint your experience then you don't know ****. Oh yeah i've run FMU and STOCK injectors with no problem.

You are going to want to run an inline high pressure pump pump rather than an intank.

These threads explain why...

In- tank will be fine, in line will be better. As for the 310's, they are fine. No AFC needed. I ran 370"s with no AFC @50 psi fuel pressure, ran fine.

iight that helped alot with my mind and all so i am not doin the AFC cause my car runs straight with what i have i just need to clarify if its safe till dyno tunning comes......

no need to push the car past 8lbs yet cause 90%of the cars on the street are dumb slower then me.....

I still love pulling on old doods in $50k-60k$ cars....Especially when there women is with them....O man just to see there faces ))PRICELESS((

I mean its like i payed way less then half of what u did and my outcome its EONS past the performance u have......I KNOW THAT EVERYONE KNOWS WHAT I MEAN....

The intank will not be able to support 90+ psi fuel pressure. If you are going to run your car at 8psi on a 12:1 fmu you will be over that 90 psi threshold.

So again, do your car a favor and just run an inline in addition to your current fuel pump.
