I presume that Courtney have modified the block to address the cooling issues with the power increase?
Be interested to know what they did.
Also is this running on the standard exhaust manifolds?
Never gets hot so...... pass. not a concern lol
ex manifolds are standard, and restrictive as hell. looking into getting some made. i know someone on an x25xe used ford probe manifolds and welded the flanges on, whether this is possible on an x30 mounted the other way is something of a dark area.

Your speedo will be way out with 255/35 on a 19" rim
I used: http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html
(from this site I think) - 275/30 will keep it you all in sync
HTH
According to that link when I am doing 60mph I will actually be doing 61.8mph. I can live with that.

Did apologise earlier about the spamming sorry 8-)
All i can say is mine is lowered on shocks and springs and has 255 35 19s on the rear and 235 35 19s on the front . It handles well. but its never gonna keep up with a hot hatch etc. Its still a barge.

Meaning?
Debate pending about whether or not a change of FPR will make any difference, etc., I would say.
Quite often this is touted (by the likes of Courtenay) as a performance upgrade in itself. The truth of the matter is that, if you up the fuel pressure on a standard car, the stock ECU will just trim the fuelling back to where you originally were so it achieves nothing.
However, if you have made gains by fitting cams and a more free flowing exhaust, the injectors will be unable to supply much more fuel above a stock state of tune (they are at their limits with a standard engine IMHO) so upping the fuel pressure might be a good move. You would need to get it mapped with the new fuel pressure regulator though.
If you want to try it don't spend out on anything exotic. The 2.6/3.2 Omegas have a 3.8 Bar FPR as standard so just pick one up from a scrapper.
Kevin
you speak a lot of sense mate
Truth be told in most instances they dont make a difference. but The opel tuning chip for the ecu combined with this should make a noticeable difference, so i am told but like most things results vary. Courtenay are not as good as hyped to be imho. If an adjustable comes up for the right price i'll have it.
