DEFINATELY more than 30psi so get the 1-50 or 1-100 psi gauge. My fuel pressure was around 38psi vacuum off if I remember correctly.

If you are not doing any kind of fmu thing and boost .................

I'd think you would be in the range of 35 to 45

A gauge that has a scale of 1 to 50 will be easier to read at a glance
and
I somehow think it will be more accurate than the 1 to 100 gauge.

For sure the 1-50 is more accurate but no big deal you just have to focus more on looking at the 1-100psi to set your pressure. I've had both and they worked like a charm.

Mine's easy enough to read, it's 0-100. I can tell going down the road if it's at 38, 39, or 40 psi (the only settings I run, usually it's at 39 unless it's really cold or hot out).

If you're setting it under the hood with an AFPR, simply use a test guage set, they're 0-100 psi in large readable increments and plug temporarily into your schrader valve to get a reading.
