psi is useless,
HP goal.

If you are using the stock PCM go with the 72# units that Nogo has. Apparently they are easy to tune and work well. Dual 340 pumps (intank) and a 1:1 rising rate regulator and you should be good to go.

60lb Mototrons at least,
I would also do a cam,
and 600rwhp is very doable.

I would run ARP head studs too.

What about fuel rails and lines? I thought i saw something about 98s having decent rails. since ive posted this ive read a little on the d-1sc and the f1. what are your opinions.
