Get colder plugs.

As long as your fuel system is up to par, you should be fine. Oh yeah, this is a wet kit that you're using, right...?

Do some searching; there is a ton of info on this topic.


P.S. What are you doing with that extra header?

I would change the entire fuel system just for good measures.

I was riding in my friends integra with a 75 shot when the fuel pump studdered. It picked up a bunch of power, but was soon in pieces.
