hey guys, just about finished with the whole project, im just unsure of a few things. first, how much boost is safe to run every day? Do i need a btm?, if so how many degrees retard should i go? i am running a vortech 12\1 fmu with a 255lph fuel pump and stock injectors, i was going to get injectors, but i saw what came with a drag stage 2 kit and they dont include injectors so i think these will do. please any other helpful information you may have will be appreciated... thaks!!

i wouldnt run more than 8psi. get it tuned good because h22a are well known for breaking ringlands

well, how much boost untuned with my 12/1 vortech fmu, and would a btm help?

i would say 0 psi. untuned, thats the easiest way to break ringlands. save up money and do it the right way and save your motor.

because without it being tuned, you dont know if your running rich or lean, if your running lean well there goes your ringlands. its that easy.

why not get some dsm 450s and a hondata and have it tuned by a professional.

:iagree: I know a guy who doesn't think he needs to get his car tuned with his turbo because he has an FMU; he's on his 4th motor now and still hasn't learned his lesson. Do it once and do it right.
