well what is your gauge telling you. Thats actually the gauge you should be paying attension to the most. WOT should be 50+psi from a hot idle.

well i said 50+ plus i cant remember what my LS1 pump used to put out in my Camaro. My ZO6 does put out 60+ at WOT and sits around 42-44psi at hot idle. Your pressure is fine. Drive w/o worry

High 20s to around 40 at idle and between 40-50 while accelerating then 50+ at hard acceleration. Your readings are fine. I finally know what mine are after I got my sensor replaced!!! It's nice knowing, although replacing that sensor was tons of fun!
