Staying perfectly stock is for weenies. BNR Stage 2, get all the options. Spend the money and tune that on a dyno and be happy. Very happy. 15~16# should be your goal with that setup. Have a 255lph Walbro yet?

Whoa, 15 16 psi is to much for that set up. I run a BNR stage 1 and I say 13 is just about maxed with that setup, I see about mid to high 11's. I run 10 -12 with 720 secondaries, rtek 1.5, fmic and HKS afr. I tune with the PLX M-300.

Maybe throw in some 680-720's in the primaries might be able to do it.

High 11's is what I see when I try to run 13psi. I run 10-12psi and the AFR's are from mid 10''s to 11.10.

You should be ok with the stage 2 at 12 psi.
