is it tuned at all or bone stock tune? if its bone stock then ur car must be running wicked rich cause of that 255. if the fuel map was tuned once for the 255 then u may be able to get like 23ish. get a laptop and a tactrix cable and just make sure u aren' t knocking. thats all

Fuel pressure regulator would prevent the car from going rich wouldn't it?

stock tune, I wouldnt go over 20 lbs... All of those mods and you haven't spent the 3-400 dollars on a tune? Get it tuned and you will have a brand new car!!

You can easily blow up the engine at 18 psi or safely run 30 psi, depends on alot of things. What kind of 20g is that?

first,how the f did you thing it was stock?it has a tubular mani.2nd,your not running rich because of the walbro.Only if you had bigger injectors not scaled.the fpr still regulates that.the more flow is just there if you need it,hence a tune.
