You need some sort of Fuel management...

a Vortec FMU seems to be a popular choice around here.

yeah... dude your gonna need more petrol if you want to maintain that engine running... AFC Hack or Vortech FMU does seem like the weapon of choice for most people on low budgets... With proper fuel management you should be fine at 8PSI... no fuel management... keep it below 5, retard your timing a bit. good plugs, ignition, and unbolt your water temp sensor, and plug it up, tricks your car to run rich, as if it were cold all the time. About piping thats what im doing.... going to a muffler shop to get the pipes bent... im using 2in steel... should be a good size and keep the heat out.
