    65 should be fine for now, keep in mind if you go big on the throttle body your gas peddle becomes more of an on/off switch.

    also check your fuel pressure while idling and with the key off. pressure should hold with engine off. if it doesn't then you have either a leaky injector or press. reg. to eliminate the reg. you have to plug the return line.
