I am with bcty, limit yourself to 15 psi for JUST RACING (on the track of coarse (cough (bs) cough) and about 10 or around there for normal day driving.

I would keep it down to about 7psi without an intercooler and 10psi with one. remember you are using high compression rotors. Hitman on his website gives some good advice on the subject.

Are you using a 13b housing for the injector bungs?

I riced oot going efi as about $3500 in parts and $600 in labor, plus the cost of the engine work rebuilding, poeting etc. There in $Aus but US prices were about the same.
