58 psi at idle WILL make a motor run rich, regardless of the setup. thats just too much pressure at idle. too tight of valves may also make you be down on compression in whatever cylinder the lash has tightened up, but a compression test will not reveal this. to find that out you have to do a leak down.

keep on track with the fuel system. it sounds like theres a bug in there somewhere. o btw. im running 3 fuel pumps cuz im uber jdm tyte yo!
