FPR question...

Ok, measured my fuel pressure stock and it was at 40 psi. Put in a BB and it bumped it to 65 psi.

No I read you want to be around 75 psi but not above 80 or 85.

Should I put another BB or shim in there to bump it up to 75? Or just leave it at 65 psi?

65 is great. Another BB would put you way over and put too much strain on your fuel pump.

I think I've got all the little things done now... Just need a Paint Job, Chip, and a Limited Slip so I can get some traction!!!

I can't get on it hard turning corners or when it's wet even without a chip!!!

If you want to regulate your fuel pressure, you should use the screw and not the BB, like in this pic:

I have read that a locker is way better than a Limited Slip.
