Default NO More Hissing!

Well guys I just got in from reinstalling the SR and fixing the vacuum leak I had. In addition, I put FORD SVO #24 injectors in. Man what a difference! Got it started, and had some trouble with it idling. Scans say its running pretty rich with the pressure I had ~47psi. After taking it for a ride, seemed I needed to drop the pressure more. Everything was rich. Much better than before, ~160 BLM at idle and 134 at cruise. I came back to the house and lowered the pressure and it seemed to help with the idle. I also set the IAC and TPS. Now it will idle ~600 RPM. Probably too low with that cam. What do you guys run at. Also I set the base timing at 7. Had it at 8 before but it seemed to get a lot of knock while getting on it. That is just the ARAP chip, it has WAY too much timing. I probably won't need any more than mid 30's. I get reading up to 47 now with the base ARAP. I wish I had a place to put these scans so some of you more experienced people could help. Oh well. The engine compartment is SOOOOO much quieter now. Before it sounded like a freakin air line disconnected. Also no more oil leaks, knock on wood. Well I am on cloud nine and I also should report that the SR went together this time like a dream. I almost took it all back apart, just because it was so much fun. :bs
Thanks guys for the help with this beast.
