i ran 12 psi daily driven on my 115k b18a with an RHB5 (i know it was small) and just a B+M adjustable fuel pressure regulator. it was my daily driver for about 2 months till i crashed it. ren perfect every day and had perfect compression. btw, mine wasnt intercooled! and it was summertime! the LS is strong.
