Question Fuel pressure readings video.???

Here are some vids where my fuel pressure is....

I shimmed the ovf and it is still low.

I drove around and it seems to low from what I have read.

I am still thinking on getting a adj reg because this ofv just sucks. I tried to adjust it and it went up from eight to where it is at now at idle.

If I get a adj reg can I run it from 30psi and up or does it have to be at 22 psi?

Do you have a needle valve or pressure snubber on there? That guage is not happy.

Do you know why they have the ofv set at 22 psi if it can handle 40 psi like you are saying?

Just trying to figure this out.

I have a needle valve in there.

Not sure where to get the pressure snubber. I am searching this now...

I have a special tool to close a hose off. It has a slider on it that keeps pressure on the hose to close it off. I just adjusted the clamp till I had 30 psi at idle. I drove it around to see if there is any change...I saw alittle about 5-10 mph but that is it.
