If I were you, I would purchase a Fuel gauge (if you dont have one already) Hookup an ease Program on a laptop and have someone in your area help you Dial in the car with the new adj fuel pressure unit and a MAFT. You will be happy with the results. :)

Mine was set at 62 from the factory and that is way to rich....I dropped to 52 and have had no problems.....

My FP was set to 59 psi from factory, and when i went with an AFPR i set it back to 59 psi. After numerous AutoTap runs 59# seems to be the sweet spot. :cheers:

There is no one right answer, each individual car has a sweet spot, which may be at, above, or below the stock FPR setting.
