If you are boosting 3/4 red, something is either very wrong, or very right! (depends on how you look at it I guess)
If you aren't getting knocking/pinging (as evidenced by boost dropping back, sometimes going up and down rapidly), then I don't see the need for more fuel. Isn't 3/4 red near or even over 20 psi boost?
You didn't mention which car you have, but to my knowledge, prior to the Viggen and 9^5 Aero, I believe max stock boost was under 16 psi. I could be wrong on that though. I know my '87 9000T lists stock max boost as 11 psi.
As I say, I am going to trying out a 3.0 bar FPR this weekend, because I am indeed getting some pinging/boost cutback, so not enough fuel for how much boost I'm trying to create.
Do you have high flow injectors on your well boosting car? I'm jealous of all you people who get 1/2 or 3/4 red with just a little APC tweak here or there. I have yet to see past 1/3, and that's on a perfect day. It won't sustain that level of boost, and I have done quite a bit more than just a simple tweak of the pots..
