Hey what should I set the F-con to according to my mods?

I read on fc3spro.com that there is a pontentiometer to set from 0-9. I haven't opened it up yet, but I was wondering what I should set it at according to my mods which are listed in my signature. I am getting 8 psi on first, 9 on second, 10psi of boost in third but dies to 8 psi after 6K rpm, and fourth is similar.

I just set it to 3. It was set on 4 earlier, and didn't seem ot have a problem, but I was thinking maybe I might be running too rich, so I turned it to 3.

You need something that can monitor AFR's like a wide-band to set it properly.
Asking the forum for a setting is asking for trouble.

Hey alan, alright, so 0 is regular fcon setting. Well, I dont have cats either and I do have TID and hitting 10psi. I thought 0 would be the same as having it off. I have that extra 2 psi, so I was scared 0 would do nothing and I would be lean.
