42-45 psi should be just fine.

you can run more if you want to make the injectors run at a higher pressure to squeeze more out of them if you're starting to max the duty cycle out, but that's the general LTX fuel pressure range.

30# is a bit low me thinks, but I might be wrong. Get an adj regulator if you don't like that the stock PSI will suffice. Boost it to 50psi. I ran my TPI at that, but that's a whole nother story, but it was an ECM, not a PCM. I took a look recently at a PCM tune compared to an ECM tune, and they are QUITE different.
