Anyone know if too much fuel pressure would cause loading at idle, yet run good under boost? I have mine set at 7psi right now and most of the posts here I've seen state they have the fuel pressure set to 5psi.
 
You don't need that much fuel pressure. 4-5 lbs is sufficient. Did Dave tell you to run it that high?
 
Yep, based on the elevation, but I had problems when under boost and it was the t's that were not sealed, now it runs great once I get it passed the idle point. One other thing is the first time I had it running good it would not idle down and would just stay at around 2500rpm, so I turned it down, now it loads up. I'll turn down the fuel pressure and see if it will idle.
On another subject, I was in Falcon a few weeks back driving around the south side (toward the ski resort) and saw you BPE trailer on a side street blocking the street. When to check things out, no Yami's around and wasn't sure which cottage yours was so we went on our way. Anyway, I'll let you know how it turns out.
 
Trailer was parked right in front of my cabin - Lake side with all the tracks running into the driveway. Stop in anytime you're in the area.

Should see you at the Ball Licker. I'll bring some heat tape in case you haven't found any yet - I don't need it on mine :D
 
i use bender's spec 5.5 be sure your guage is accurate..... like boost guages, they can be off...
