30 psi if you don't plan to grow...

60 will give you room to grow, but won't be nearly as animated as the 30 lol.

I recently went from a 30 to a 60. Then again I've got bigger injectors, turbo and a few other nuts and bolts....

I just put in a 60. I think that is the only way to go. I typically only see about 23-26 max with the way I am set up. But I wouldnt want to be maxing the gauge out all the time.

I just got my guages in the mail today, I ordered a 40psi....figured I would throw that out as an option. I have a PMR motor so I will most likely never boost over 35
