    What would be an ideal system pressure for the best tunability with a Whipple Screw motor?
    I have read anywhere from 100 to 200psi and would like to know what is best for best results.
    Thanks in advance Jamie

    I find the best is 125-130 psi at 8000 rpm in first gear.

    Thanks Mike yet again. My system pressure was 156lb @ 8000 with no loop and .090 main. Being a 110 pump and having 9gpm into motor for 25lb boost would this pressure be ok?

    It is not going to hurt anything being a little high. Too low will hurt you but higher within limits will not. Looks like you tuneup is right on.

    Thanks Mike it puts my mind at rest.
    I would say to anybody to always get your system flowed and dont trust advertised pump figures.
    New pump was 7% off advertised flow.
    Thank you once again Jamie
