just finished up driving the car oil pressure is great. just feels a little slugish. hopefully a tune will fix that.

edit: should i replace the single cam fuel pump thats in my gas tank? when im goin theres a lil hesitation but then smooths out.

I don't know how much your shooting for but a 255lph would be overkill on your setup.

Wisepanda didn't run into issues with the factory pump making 200+whp.

If you want to change it, do it. It won't hurt.

I don't trust Fram oil filters either.

I always use Honda Filters.

First whoever was ranting about a D series there an idiot. D= duesch bag B= beast and K= Kronic F= fag. Use nothing but honda oil filters! especially not a fram on K&N they dont flow enough. if you gota go to advanced autoparts use a WIX. if the valves still sound like shit whoever set the lash didnt know what they were doing. Put some money in the tip jar!
