I got a couple questions

ok.. i got a few questions. I have a dent in one of my funners, is there some way to reshape it? it cant b good for air flow, and it just plain looks bad. question two, what is the best fuel pressure for the best performance? i know there are alot of post about this but there is something im not clear on. i read that the stock fuel pressure in the 89 L98 was 47 psi, how come so many of u have lower than that? do u have better fuel pumps? i also read that 50 psi would be a good pressure for me after i get my headers and pulleys added onto my other mods. But from what i have been seeing here tht seems a little high. ok. heres the last one, does the WS6 package come with 16" rims? i am pretty sure it does, but i just want to be sure. thanks guys

First, one of the ways I have seen people get a dent out of a runner (if it's feasible) is to use a piece of wood on the inside and knock the dent back out, but it's never going to look like it never had a dent in it.

Second, the best way to test what is the best fuel pressure is to take it to the track or a dyno and increase your pressure in 2psi increments to where it performs the best.... there is no hard & fast rule on fuel pressure.

Third, the WS6 package is a suspension package, larger sway bars, etc. Most of the time the cars that had the WS6 package also got the 16" rims,(N96 for the cast aluminum 16" wheels in my case), but not always. I've seen WS6 cars with 15" rims.
