*Flame Suit On* FMU Q
 
Looking at a OBX 10:1 FMU only looking to boost 6psi for now until I save up for a LS swap.
10:1 good enough for non intercooled setup?

stock injectors
255lph in tank pump

I will agree with that. Obx stuff is hit ormiss and an fmu that fails=good bye rings. Be careful with your hose clamps has well with fmu's double up on them

I dunno. I'm thinking low boost until I can save up for a stronger motor. I was think just plain LS swap and boost it.
My D16Z6 has 175k on it. Uses a little oil. I was thinking low boost @ 5psi for now. The motor itself has no odd noises, idles very very smoothly. I'm just torn right now. I honestly don't know how much power I could push with this thing.
Should I say ---- it and go the 450s route and tune it and push about 8-10psi. What do you guys think?

either way you should go with a chipped ecu. In reality you need to compression test your motor and with that kind of mileage a fresh headgasket will be a killer idea.
