Guys, you had me at: (18psi): "one of the cars I tuned shattered a pump. Unopened oem engine, 250whp".

Thank you all for sharing your experience. cj

Same reason you don't go over kindergarten math in calculus class. At some point you have to start having expectations, or every single discussion will require 200 pages of review prior to discussing the topic at hand.

But I'm not, so I won't.
