it only really matters when its running... and thats darn good

maybe your battery is a little low, so if the alt. isnt running the pump isnt getting max voltage?

WOT simulated-pressure would be what matters the most - yours is good.

Gary, do you have an AFPR? It kinda looks like it.

But like was said above, that pressure is good all the way around.

Good luck.

Stock FPR...I figured the gauge results would let me know if I needed a AFPR. I am very happy to hear all can stay as is!

Thanks as always...
