I've had a slight over-heating problem since I did a big round of mods in the summer
-BBK LT headers
-Dr. Gas offroad x-pipe
-ASP Smog pump eliminator
-new plugs/wires/cap and rotor
Right after I did that round of mods, my car would run really hot. A couple times on the highway it got as high as the L in normal . And thats cruising at 2k rpm. If the car would just idle, it wouldn't go above the R. FWIW I have ASP pullies, but they never gave me a problem until after that round of mods.
I took the car to my mechanic, who said it was the car running lean (FWIW, the car has never had detonation, even when the temps were sky-high). He suggested I put in an AFPR, which I did. The instructions (Aeromotive) said to set the pressure at 47 psi. This helped a lot. But the temps will still get up there if Im messing around a lot.
But anyway, whats everyone's fuel pressure set at? The other mods that I have besides those listed above are:
-14* timing
-Densecharger intake
-ASP pullies
-Dynomax Catback
Last time I got an oil change (Im due for one soon), my mechanic said that if I lowered the fuel pressure, I would richen it up a bit, and the car would run cooler temps. Next time I go there, Im having the pressure lowered, but I was wondering to what. I've done a search and see people ranging from 40-44 psi. Should I just try 42? Thanks.
