Default H22a4 fuel pressure at fuel rail?

What is the H22a4's fuel pressure at the fuel rail. I was doing some calculations on RC engineering page, and they ask for this info. Thanks!

From Helms:
Pressure Regulator:
Pressure with regulator vacuum hose disconnected 47-54 psi.

However on rc's site they need the unit's in PSIg?

Still have no idea what number to put in, but here's some info from AEM's website.

From AEM's Site:
What is the difference between a PSIg sensor and a PSIa sensor?
A: At sea level, the atmosphere exerts a pressure of approximately 14.696 pounds per square inch (PSI), usually rounded up to 14.7 psi. You need to know if a pressure reading includes or excludes this pressure. To distinguish this, two specific pressure units are used: pounds per square inch gauge (PSIg), and pounds per square inch absolute (PSIa).

PSIg is a reference to atmospheric pressure and the measurement instrument will indicate zero when not connected to the process pressure, with the sensing element exposed to atmospheric pressure. PSIg sensors cannot measure vacuum. A PSIg sensor will read 0.0 PSI when the sensing element is exposed to atmospheric pressure at sea level and the output will not decrease if a vacuum is applied.

PSIa is referenced to absolute zero. Absolute zero is the pressure measurement when all the pressure exerted by the atmosphere has been removed. PSIa sensors are required of you wish to measure vacuum. A PSIa sensor will read about 14.7 PSI when the sensing element is exposed to atmospheric pressure at sea level however they can be recalibrated to read zero at atmospheric and a negative number at values less than atmospheric pressure.
