I didn't own a proper pressure gauge when I did my blue spring but after a couple of years I'm seeing 64psi at key on (after it builds), 64psi at an idle and 58 at wide open throttle. WOT is commonly the lowest number.

Yeah the pic was to show Isspro when the gauge was messing up immediately after install. Turns out the hole was cut slightly out of round and was binding the stepper motor when the gauge would sweep home and not make it, so it gradually read higher and higher until it pegged out. Dremel with a sanding drum and a solid squeeze on the gauge fixed it.
