    I know Im beating a dead horse but just want some reassurance.

    At idle I have about 20# of pressure and WOT 50#. It just seems low compared to what I had B-4 I replaced the T-chain.

    KB HV/HP pump and TA adjustable regulator, just for info.

    Mine runs 18 at idle and 60 at 4000 RPM on a pull. Numbers are when engine is at operating temps. I have seen some here with 15 lbs at idle and 40 at cruise speed. You sound ok to me.

    The rule of thumb always used to be 10 psi per 1,000 rpm.

    Stock idiot light comes on at 7psi.

    I'm one of the guys with 15 at idle, never had a guage hooked up during cruise. 15 psi doesn't scare me. Less than that might...
