01 Cummins 24v fuel pressure question

Hey guys just wondering what low fuel pressure is and what good high fuel pressure is and at what pressure do I need to start backing off. Truck is mostly all stock lift pump gauges and edge comp are on there way.

With an aftermarket LP it's 15 idle/cruise, 10 under WOT, any lower than 6 and bad things happen to your VP. This is my limited knowledge from having two VP44 trucks.

Get on ebay and order a low fuel pressure warning light 50$ it will go off ..or light up when pressure hits 5psi and anything over 18 psi is a little much on stock trucks as it will cause hard starting issues
