I was getting ready to ask the same question. Looks like I should not bother. I got about 1500 PSI at the rear and 1700 PSI at the front. But, I am having hydroboost kickback problems and no reserve pressure when the engine is off. I only get about 600PSI when the engine is off, even on the first press.

Even though I have kickback, I don't see a fluctuation in the pressure when it happens.

Can anyone else chime in with the numbers they have seen for these situations????

I just installed a Strain Gauge Pressure transducer between my RABS Unit and the Rear brake wheel cylinders on my 93 . I expect to see maybe a Maximum of 2000 PSI of line pressure but working pressures should be much lower. I waiting for a Gauge Amp ====>> this one specifically https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32708647762.html

my Transducer is rated to 5000 PSI but I can scale factor it down to give me a usable working pressure range for my Digital Panel Meter...

On that Hydroboost kickback have you installed a filter and done the Flush Procedure ?
