Low pressure cause you can run a jet with a bigger orifice, compared to high pressure and a smaller orifice for comparative sized hits. Why is this important, the smaller orifices have a greater tendancy to get plugged up, and that could be a major melt down.

Just contact whom evr ya got the standalone from. usually, IIRC it's somewher around 7psi, but you can fine tune the psi as part of your setting up of a low pressure system, so get their rec first.

This may sound retarded (flame suit on) but are nozzles designed for a certain psi of fuel to help maintain suspension?

Also a low PSI system is easier to tune becasue you are able to get better results out of a samll PSI adjustment ( 2-3 PSI ) where in a high pressure situation you wont get the same results. Also keep in mind that if you already have a system for high pressure then you will need to get the appropriate jetting / jets for the low pressure.

No I dont see how low pressure would get rid of a lean spike. You would think that high pressure would move the fuel faster there for being better to illiminate a lean spike.hmmmm

To add to the above info..

If you plan on using a certified flow gauge to adjust flowing fuel pressure low pressure may be the only way to go since I am not aware of anyone that offers a high pressure flow gauge.
