Set mine all the way lean. Its still rich as ----. But runs. Still Fouls plugs. But I got my B&M fuel pressure gauge today. Gonna check that and maybe get an adjustible fpr if my pressure is high. Dont know why itd rise like that though.

They shouldnt couse the cam is giving you higher lift not the rocker arm.

Blind the stock reg can't flow enough so the high flow pump makes the pressure go up.. the after market regs are higher flowing.

Im not on the high flow pump anymore. Went back to stock and its more resonable. But still too rich.

todd... you said your car stumbled. do you mean while driving, or idling or both? HOw was the idle pre-adjustment. My idle seems a little whacky at times and on two seperate occasion i miss shifted from 1-2 and spun my a6 to about 7 grand. just want to know if i can use an adjustment too (er, to my valves, not me lol)

Well my car runs very rich.. That is alot of the problem with the stumbling I hear.. its kinda a miss then the exhuast pops.. it does it mostly while at idle and cruising speeds.. After the valves it does run alot smoother but still way rich.. Its probably a good idea to adjust your valves every year or so.. if you have not ever done it then it can't hurt.. its pretty easy to do.. If you over revved it and now its running rough its possible you hurt something.. You might need a valve job or something to fix it.
