What PSI are you sitting at idle and at WOT? I have been watching mine, and at 14.1 volts, I am sitting at 58psi and drop to 56 at WOT. Is this what others are seeing? I thought pressure would stay at 60+ with it.
Any feedback?

Going by memory (for what that's worth!), about 62psi @ idle and 57-59 @ WOT.

The factory regulator is set at 58PSI. Having 56PSI at the rail under WOT on your build of motor is perfectly normal. We have seen some error in consumer level gauges as well so if you suspect a problem it is always good to double check your pressure with a good Snap On type gauge.

This thread is about C5 FSU's. What you are posting has nothing to do with a C5 FSU.

deleted the thread. i was thinking this had to deal with a pump install dealing with pressures like that and just offered up some help IF it was related and similar to the fbodies with lines in the tank that have to be tightened, since there wasnt more info i could not tell.

why dont you take a second to look at the question i have for you in another thread and post up some info for us if you dont mind, like you said you would in a previous post
