You will need the actron fuel pressure tester with fuel pressure release valve and tbi adapter to test pressure.
A good hydralic shop MAY ( real longshot, impossible to find ) have the fuel safe STEEL schrader valve that can be welded to the stock fuel line in order for you in the future to test your fuel pressure without having to remove the line to fit the tester.Otherwise you will have to find a brass one ( also very difficult to find by itself in the right size ) and just make your own adapter with fuel injection line.
If you are going to use the 85 pump you should install an aftermarket fuel pressure regulator to bring the pressure down to say 20lbs then let the stock regulator reduce it to 12 or 14, why? because you MAY blow the stock regulator seal. Others have not done this yet others have had their seals blow due to too much pressure, your choice.
Do a search on here and you will find a TON of help already posted on your questions for the crossfire that will help.

Headers
What brand of header should i get and what type because i can barely find magnaflow headers for a 84 i dont know if an 86 year would fit in my car. Im new to these things but really trying to learn.

I have headman headers on my. I would suggest getting powder coated or putting better paint on before install. My original paint lasted about a week with the car running in the garage about an hour. otherwise they bolt up fine bolts are easy to get to and they have good ground clearance.
