i am running 22 psi w/ my EBC (tbe, jdm mr bov & stock fuel pump) w/o any issues. i'd stay around 21-25 psi but look into getting a fuel pump asap. thats my next mod as well as a flash & safc.

Whoa, nellie. Stay around 21-25??? Not on pump gas, son. He should not go over 22psi on pump gas first of all. Secondly, you say you aren't having any issues at 22psi, but have you logged any high rpm pulls to make sure you aren't pulling timing? You probably aren't right now, since you have the extremely rich factory tune, but once you tune out that richness with an S-AFC and/or flash, then 22psi might cause knock at the top of 3rd and 4th, so be ready.
