According to the Haynes manual the Lowest reading cylinder should be within 15psi of the highest reading cylinder with 100 psi as a minimum pressure.

Hope this helps.

Nice ride Stratus. I think I may have asked you this before, but where'd you get that hood from? Also, hows that tubular front setup doing for street use?
