Default stock fuel pressure?

Hooked up my fuel pressure guages:

Have a strock LS6 intake with stock injectors and fuel pump.

Mechanical off the rail and electric in hte cabin and both read 60 psi. Reading is always te same and never fluctuates.

My silverado has a vaccuum line connected and increases with boost. I noticed the TA dosen't have a vaccuum line and always stays the same.

Is this normal?

Thanks

Yes. LS1's run a static 4-bar (~58psi) fuel system. In the absence of a vacuum referenced FPR, the PCM is tuned to understand how the fuel injectors will react under different manifold vacuum readings.

Thats where you ask yourself if the money would of been better spent elsewhere.

IDK who told you to get the guage? It's like the oil pressure guage IMO. It's only useful when pressure drops off...

It would be useful if you were installing nitrous on a strange car or diagnosing your car.
