lol, i was thinkin you should start with 5 and steadily increase to about 30, and when your motor goes boom, then you know you went to far.

no but really, are you gonna be rinning a IC? that makes a difference. it all depends on your setup. you could prolly besafe with 5-8.

edit: all the nmbers in those statements should have psi after them. fogive me.
