What should fuel pressure be at idle

I know it's been said befor meny times I just can't find it.What should your fuel pressure be at idle and at WOT. I'm just about finished putting in my AEM fpr and I need to adjust.

34psi at idle.

Did you go SC'ed?

I picked up the 25-302C last night. Is that what you have as well? What fittings did you pick up for it?

I'm not supercharged but I'm running nitrous express and blew the fuel pump a couple of weeks ago. So I just upgraded instead of putting OEM parts back in. And to think I almost didn't put in that little gay looking thing called a fuel safety switch. Thank god I did. My plans are to supercharge sometime in the near future. That is the same FPR I picked up but what orfice are you going to use. The fittings I used are -6an with pipe thread on the other side and then pipe thread female side to 3/8" barb fitting for the 5/16" hose. It should be quite a b!tch to get on but it will have a nice seal. And I used a -6an plug for the other inlet.
Hope that helps a little

xxtavixx:
the notes say that it comes from the factory preset at 40psi but its adjustable down to 20psi

the_lurch:
I think I'll just leave the .100" orifice thats already in there. I'll have to figure out which one of my current fittings are salvageable first.

BlackCat I had to change out the .100 for the .150 it wasn't letting enough fuel through at WOT and I would suggest changing it befor you install the FPR because it was quit the pain in the a$$ to do it with it in the engine bay. I'm also running the 255lph walbro so that might have something to do with it.
I'm not sure what fuel pump you have but it's just somthing to keep in mind. Oh and only the specific application FPR comes at 40psi pre set, the universal ones are all over the board says the AEM tech line, mine was at 22psi when I installed it. NIce and easy to fix with autometer gauge I installed with it.
P.S. Nice to see some canuck representation

Make sure you use viton or nitrile seals on those army/navy fittings. They will save you a lot of trouble, and put motor oil on the threads. DO NOT use teflon tape.
