Fuel pump 140-160

Hello,

The deadhead pressure on a new Pierburg pump is a little less than 5psi so I always keep the pressure below 5psi.

When I have to deal with an overpressurizing pump, I will set the pressure to 3psi and then check for starvation by taking a run at least 70mph for a couple of miles.
