Default vp44 normal pressure

hey guys, got an 01 and was just wondering if 13 psi was low for a vp44. ive got an edge juice with attitude and when i sorta get on it, it will read 13 psi sometimes. when idling it get to about 18 psi and will go from 18 to around 14 or 13 with normal acceleration. just wondering if this was normal or not. thanks

Pressures look good! No less then 10PSI @ WOT is the general rule.

i agree with the other fellas but i have a warning light that pops on if it starts down below 14psi...mine idles at 18-19 but i think most people run around 14 it just depends how you got it set just watch your fuel pump cuase if that goes your vp44 will follow very soon ive went through that and its not fun at all
