Default Just fired summer build! Running pretty good need some advice!

Just got my summer build working and its running pretty good right now. My major issue is my leaking oil return but I have a few other things I was wondering about:

1. At idle there is a slight miss like the ignition timing or something is off, is this fixed by just adjusting the timing using the dizzy and a timing gun?

2. At idle my fuel psi at the filter is 30psi, is that low? It is adjustable andim not sure what to set it to...

3. My oil gauge is reading a oil pressure of 80psi at idle, is this high or normal?

Thanks! I cant wait to get this thing tuned!!

Ive herd that most Hondas that run open downpipe/header exprience this so called "miss" or "skip" but its only at idle. My car did it even when I was NA. Unless its really pulling down your RPM and almost kills your car I wouldnt worry about it. Its really possible that it could be something else, thats just my expricence. Does it go away if you put the full exh. on? Someone correct me if Im wrong but usualy stock pressure is set around anywhere from 38-42psi. Possibly lower for D series motors? Im not really sure there buy a search would definetly pull up results.

yeah ithink the fpr is set a lil low, when i got it i couldnt really adjust it til it was on the car and once it was on i wasnt sure what i was suposed ot set it to.

I DO have an exhuast leak, where the downpipe connects to the cat could that account for the miss?

thanks!
