14-16.. anything over that you need to compensate with the more air and you should add more fuel to the system :]

you do remember cincy's whole DIY post on that (5 pages and counting), or did you forget how to search again? ~25 cents.

Don't try searching google, yahoo or metacrawler for any online electronics stores that specialize in diodes. It will never work. Ebay is your only hope in the universe.
