What plugs you running? It is best to be slightly rich for insurance sake
and have as much timing as possible without pinging. I had rich readings to
but got some ping. I went to a non projected tip one step colder plug and no
ping and runs great.

I don't have an FMU just a aux pump that I have kick on at 2 psi and builds
about 72 psi of pressure. I have 4 degrees pulled out of a custom flash when
I run 10 pounds. I through in two bottles of NOS race formula octane
booster. I get perfect 02 readings up to 10 psi and no ping.
