I installed the same FPR and it seems to work well. I have mine set at 46 psi. I have a guage attached to the npt port.

I searched this topic on this sit e and got a whole bunch of theory on setting fuel pressue.

I decided to go with the guys that set pressure while the engine is off. Jimberg has posted many times stating that you should bypass the fuel pressure relay and set pressure while the pump is running with the engine off. From what I can see, it appears that setting a higher pressure is really only helping you at higher RPM's. The fuel pressure is independant from any computer controlled changes. The computer will alter injector pulses if the O2 sensors detect readings that need to be fixed. Someone else can probably go deeper into this subject.......

I did it by having a helper turning the ignition on and off while watched the highest pressure on the guage ( just before the pump shuts off after the ignition is on for about a second).

The pressure changes all over the place with the engine running depending on what the throttle setting is. Your pressure will most likely be lower with the engine running. Mine reads close to 40 at an idle.

Hope this helps, but I'm not a real expert.......
