So I just installed a fuel pressure gauge on my fuel rail and don't really know much about what is a "normal" fuel pressure at idle, etc. At idle the fuel pressure is around 62 psi. If the car is off and I prime the pump (without starting the engine) it sits around 42 psi. Are these normal numbers? I have the OEM fuel pressure regulator and OEM rail (not sure if it matters).

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.
Eric, the following link is where I bought the blanket for my S366: http://turbo-performance-products.myshopify.com/
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.

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?
