Default fuel pressure?

how much fuel pressure does a 97 like to have? I have set up a pump that is capable of sending up to 120 psi @ 65 gph.

I just put new (rebuilt) injectors in her a couple of days ago, and I am not sure where to set my fp. with the old worn injectors anything over about 15 psi would send her into a really labored idle. I was having a miss on acceleration, so I jumped her in increments up to about 60 psi, and she seems to like it.

Any advice would be appreciated.

50 -60 should be plenty for a stock setup

the pump doesnt matter the regulator is on the fuel bowl you can shim it and the factory mechanical pump will deliver plenty for stock or mildly moded you will run into low hpop before low fuel pressure
