Performed Adj. Fuel Press. Reg. Mod.(Pablo)
I followed the directions in the tech article that Pablo wrote. Everything was pretty easy and went well. I boosted my fuel press. from 12 psi to 14.5 psi. I could really use some advice on tunning. It seems to be a little slugish now. I havn't read the article on tunning with the volt meter and o2 sensor yet so I'll start there. does anyone know if the greater flow of fuel will demand or even allow for greater ignition advance? Generally speaking should I be able to safely go farther than the 6 deg of advance I'm currently running without detonation or are the two parameters somewhat unrelated to each other. Any Ideas would be appreciated. Otherwise, I'm gonna back the fuel pressure down to about 13 psi and see how it runs then.

Thanks again for the reply Pablo. I'm going to start at 13 PSI and go from there. Once it seems to be getting the right type of mixture I'll go back and play with the timing again. Also, at these higher pressures the needle in the fp gauge seems to be bouncing around and I dont think it was at the stock setting of 12 psi. Does this suggest a problem like cloged injectors or something else perhaps. Just thinking.
