"Fuel pressure has nothing to do with the air/fuel ratio. These are computer controlled vehicles. The computer will only deliver as much fuel as needed."
Speaking from experience, I can tell you that is not true. I had my car on the dyno - 24# injectors and the other stuff in my sig - at 39 PSI (vacuum off) I was putting out 243 HP at the wheels and running rich at WOT. Dropped the fuel pressure to 33 PSI and the car had the proper A/F ratio and put 277 HP to the wheels. At WOT the computer ignores the O2 sensors. That's why we use adjustable regulators.
It doesn't look like pete1 is going to be putting out the kind of HP I am, so yes he should try dropping his fuel pressure to 30 PSI.
