Crunch time, need a suggestion
Alright, heres the deal. I have a basically stock L05 with the top end of the TBI unit currently off. The FPR is adjustable, and I dont want to have to take it off again anytime soon. I have a pair of 90# injectors installed. I should note that I REALIZE I do not need these high flow injectors, but they are my only option. I have to run with them. I do NOT have a fuel pressure guage for TBI, but I need your BEST suggestion on how far in I should set the fuel pressure screw. Should the notch be half way? More towards the bottom? I will be starting EBL tuning when everything is put back together but I cant do that until I set the fuel pressure screw and put the TB back together.
I know its a shot in the dark, but give me your best guess. Where should I put the screw? Give your answer in percentage, 0% would be the notch all the way to the bottom, 100% would be the notch all the way to the top, 50% would put the notch in the middle, you get the idea.
Thanks!

No idea, it was made adjustable long ago by a previous owner. I just took out the old injectors anyway, which were a much lower flow rate not to mention mismatched so I doubt the old setting would even be significant. I just need a ballpark guess so I can re-assemble and start tuning. I'm hoping to have this thing ready for bay area freeways by Tuesday.
Where can I get a TBI pressure guage to fine tune it? And if I do get a guage what should I set it at with a stock L05 and 90# injectors?
