Smile What kind of boost should I have?

Before I put my down pipe on, I had 5# boost. Since my downpipe, racing pipe, and no mufflers, I have 7# until high RPM where it goes to 10#.

What does everyone else that has close to this setup run?

Is this getting close to being too much for the stock fuel, computer system to handle? If I put mufflers back on it, will it drop a # or 2 on the high RPM spike?
I am just used to it being 5-7#, so when I saw the 10# I got scared. :o No knocking though, so that's good.

I would deffinately say that that is getting too high. I don't know how the mufflers will affect the boost but I would deffinately look into a Walbro or some other fuel pump soon before it goes caboom!

Your mods are correct for what boost levels you are seeing. Everything is in good working order.

Now just get more fuel to be safer!!!
