Stock fuel press is right between 58-60 psi

I believe some aftermarket superchargers increase fuel press above this via an adjustable reg, but don't quote me on SC applications.

HOLY $HIT! man im still learning. and learning everyday. Dont make laugh at me, but thats because of the 346 cubes we have im guessing..... my friend is just worried his S/C galloping pony FP is at 60.
its odd, correct me if im wrong, that we would buy the same autometer gauge that goes up to 100psi with with a stock 60 psi FP. only because with a power adder would it go up making a gauge that goes higher than 100 conciderable....or doesnt it matter

I have never heard of any supercharger, turbo, etc that requires fuel press above 100 psi. In fact, I doubt a fuel injector would even operate properly with that much head pressure.

Certainly would not need a guage that reads above 100.

Ron,
