Sounds rite when car is off but sound high at idle think it should be around 43 at all times

What coil packs are you guys using? (@ what whp/wtq level). Also, any input on boost-a-spark?

Well, the 62 psi number was with the vac line connected to the FPR. I guess I need to check the pressure reading with the vac line disconnected with the engine idling?

Please check this. I'm running the SOS return fuel setup on my AP2 and would like to know what the base fuel pressure is for a stock AP1. I've found that my settings for the fuel calibration in FlashPro work much better for ~61.5 psi than 43.5 psi. Everything I have read says it's 43.5 psi, but I'm starting to think it may be higher than that. Especially if an aftermarket fuel pump is being used.

Well I just read a bunch of threads where people were having high RPM fuel pressure issues on the dyno which is where my whole fueling journey started, and they're talking about the spring clamps on the fuel pump/hangar line going bad, and the crush washer on the fuel feed line banjo bolt obstructing fuel feed into the rail, and bad grounds on the fuel pump rewiring, and all kinds of other scary stuff. Now I'm worried, and probably won't sleep well, lol.

What weight oil should I use? 400-450whp and I will run with Amsoil signature.
I use Mobil One Turbo Diesel (5w40)
Ok I've never understood this one. If you have a stock motor, why would you use anything other than what Honda calls for (10w30)? If you're heating up and thinning out oil beyond what a N/A motor would see, you should look into an external oil cooler. I'm no oil expert, but I kinda understand viscosity and some of the other buzz words so feel free to educate me.

Stock works. Almost everyone I've seen start screwing with the stock cooling system in the car a lot of times makes it worse. I've always wondered if the there was a correlation between AEM users and the desire to get rid of the stock setup.

nahhh. aem ems here, stock cooling system FTMFW on a street only s2k. never have issues.....NEVER. people get all scared if the car goes over 195 degrees. its hilarious.

A friend has 4 Nitto NT05-R's he is basically giving me. They are 275-40/17. Will they fit under my stock AP2 suspension?

I know they aren't the best drag radial type tire, but for the price, I can't really pass it up. What is a cheap and lightweight wheel I could get? I think I heard of someone running rota slipstreams for cheap. Could I get wheels in like 17x8.5 for the rear, what offset would I need?
