fuel pressure ?

Just finished putting in 3 more gauges, fuel pressure, water temp & volts. One question I have is what is normal for fuel pressure and should the pressure drop some when you floor it? Thanks in advance for any help.

60 psi would be a good pressure for it to be at. You don't want it to drop below 45 psi. There should be a steady supply of fuel pressure, but on the extreme overfueling tunes, you could see a slight drop, but I wouldn't like that even if it is a little bit due to the fact that these beasts love their fuel as much as they love their oil.

Thanks for the reply Tex. The fuel pressure I'am seeing is 52 psi. Lower than 60 psi but thankfully higher than 45 psi. Does this seam OK for a stock 6.0 with 32,000 miles on it? Thanks again for any replies.

That min. press. of 45 psi is at wide open throttle. Any less and injector damage is possible.
