Yeah, when I switched to custom oil cooler lines my oil pressure increased a bit. I'm not sure what guys running the stock oil coolers and lines see with the Mazmart oil pressure regulator.

Yeah I just asked him and he says he has hit 130psi. He is NA (street port) and running the stock oil coolers and lines.

Should I be worried? Seems to high.

Wouldn't popping one of the washers out and only running 2 out of the 3 lower my PSI. If so its a simples fix.

Well with my Pineapple engine and their regulator I only hit 100psi max. I guess it will depend on what Pettit does. I'm not sure if 130psi is too high or not. My buddy and I kind of have a feeling it is but that is just a gut feeling and not based on any actual data,

Off topic question, I have decided to go No2 and am debating a new TB.

Im still thinking about buying your kit

Is it a new or used TB?

I would love to know the difference between FEED and stock. For a 900 dollar price tag you would think I could find some specs.

Nitrous is just so easy. The only downside is filling bottles. If I were to do it again I would buy a huge tank and filling gear.

I would say the oil pressure is too high, the bearings will start flacking

this happened a long time ago with diesel trucks, manufatures increased the oil pressure because more is better, long story short they turned down the oil pressure and there motors lasted much much longer

Anyone know why my headlight dash icon stays on all the time? Even when the key is not in the ignition, that and my security light flashes.

Do you have HID's? You should have relocated your battery.

Yes, I have hid's.

I don't have the high beams or the fogs connected at the moment.

I didn't relocate on purpose, I will be making a tray and going with a race battery at a later time this summer so I just left it be for now.

curious why did you hook up the air pump? you don't have a cat anymore
