The stock fuel pressure is 43.5psi (GM accepts 41-47psi), with no vacuum compensation. At idle, the typical NA setup will run 4-8psi lower than that, because of intake manifold vacuum.

Does your setup include a boost referenced fuel pressure regulator, or an FMU? Typically, at WOT your fuel pressure with a compensated FPR will be 43.5psi + boost.... example, at 8psi you would see 51.5psi at WOT. With an FMU, the pressure will increase based on the FMU "ratio" setting of psi of fuel pressure increase/psi of boost.

What did you tell your tuner the "base" (no vacuum, no boost) fuel pressure would be?

Im new to the whole F/I setup. Im going to install the procharger and getting everything in order i.e gauges etc....

Im not using FMU because I will be having 42LB injectors. I have not discussed tuning yet with PCM4LESS but im prob going with a dyno tune once installed. What's your take with the fuel regulator???If im not using an FMU what else should I do??

Heres my thread i have that will go into detail after i installed 42lb, removed fmu and had it tuned by pcmforless. I assume this is not typical but there is some useful info that should help. The wideband is on my want list right now.
