Stock fuel pressure isn't too low for your car. You have no idea what you're doing. Either don't worry about it, or have the car professionally tuned before you wash your cylinders.

Uh, either your information is wrong, or your stock FPR is failing and should be replaced with a new, stock FPR. Stock pressure is 43.5 PSI.

Let me see if I find the picture I took of the psi when I put the fuel pressure gause on the car I could be wrong on the psi either 32 or 34

-I also forgot the car has a chipped LS ecu with A b20 basemap

Well, problem number one, you're trusting a Blox gauge. Blox is just another company selling Taiwanese knockoff crap. Go get a new, STOCK FPR. That's all you need.

If you're using the LS rail, get the LS FPR. If you want a pressure gauge, I'd go with the B&M with a banjo fitting, and leave it permanently installed on the filter.

If you want an in-cabin fuel pressure gauge as well, you can easily put a tee under the gauge, install a remote pressure sensor, and run the wires for a secondary gauge into your cabin. Aeromotive, AEM, and Russell also make good gauges.
