Default average fuel pressure

hey guys i was just wondering what kind of fuel pressure should i have with a walbro 255 fuel pump, stock rail, and precision 525cc injectors on a stock gsr turbo. and i also have the stock fuel pressure regulator. is 60 to 65 to much?

Thanks

60-65 when? 60-65 at idle is on the high side. At idle, stock should be around 42psi. Mine's always hoovered 40-45psi.

yea i dont understand why its so high when i only have the stock fuel pressure regualtor with a fuel pump and injectors. the car isnt tuned yet so i guess i need to go and get a adjustable regulator before. and its running rich too.

running that pump with bigger injectors on your car will be pushing a lot more fuel thru. Thats why pressure is so high. Get the regulator and adjust before the tune. Thats my .2 cents

im runnin a single walbro intank to a bosch 044 to injector Dynamics 1000cc injectors and a crappy B&M FPR.. when warmed up and idling right my Pressure is or can get as low as 20-25psi... when im barely on the throttle drivin down the HWY @ 3k rpm its about 65psi then when i get into the throttle a lil bit more the needle will jump up n bounce off of 80psi n settle around 75psi. .. my old setup was similar to yours but with RC-750's my FP was the same if not a few psi higher than what ur seeing now
