What you need are facts and not opinions. You'll find them on the dyno doing some pulls with a/the wideband installed so you can see how rich/lean you're running. Then you'll know exactly what you should do.

i know but my real question is, is that how you adjust the fuel pressure with the vaccum line on and whatever it reads is what your fuel pressure should be? like how mine is reading 48 right now.

If your manual says that it should read 48 psi at idle with the hose on, then yes.
