I'm not reading all that.

4 pounds of fuel pressure and 7 pounds of fuel pressure are completely different tuneups.

If your car was tuned up on 5 pounds of pressure, and you now have 7-8, it is a different tune up, there is no doubt about it.

And actually, 5 pounds and 5 1/2 pounds are a substantially different tuneup. If your car has never had a precise tuneup to begin with, then it probably doesn't matter, but that is a whole different issue.
