If you're asking for my opinion.....just leave it as it currently is. Sounds perfect to me.

Well so far (knock on wood), it seems like I have no more leak. Im not looking too hard though lol. I decided to try boosting the fuel pressure just a bit to try it out. I used my stiffer spring and smallest spacer and it puts it almost the same as the previous setting at idle, maybe just a touch higher. But I want to see how it acts with the stiffer spring. I also plan to try replacing the strainer and seeing if that lowers the pressure at all(due to dirt restricting the stainer). That was my concern with the previous setting, that it would be too low with a clean filter. Although that problem may go away when I clean the fuel tank, hopefully the week after next.

Lol well I do not like it getting close to 15, but I guess I'm just going to have to live with it because the stiffer spring didn't do much except make it rise faster with rpms. Unless I want it well over 20 at high rpms. I think next I'll try adding my thinnest spacer to the original setup. It didn't seem to make a difference yesterday but I didn't leave it in long.
