    To test the fuel pressure properly, I connect to the shrader valve that is right on the fuel rails?

    Ok, I connected FP gauge to the shrader valve on Fuel Rail.

    Here are just some random notes that I took while on the test run. Most might be USELESS but here they are:

    Car off: 38 PSI
    Key On: 48 PSI
    Reverse (0 MPH): 43 PSI
    Drive (0 MPH): 41 PSI
    WOT from low speed: 59-60 PSI
    45 MPH: 45 PSI
    While RPMs drag down to 2k RPM: 40-60 PSI. Like a propeller on a plane.
    60 MPH 0% Throttle: 45 PSI, Apply throttle: Lowers to 40 PSI then jumps back to 45 PSI.
    70 MPH, 2K RPM (Torque Converter Locked In?): 40-60 PSI. Jumps between like crazy.
    70 MPH, 2K RPM (Torque Converter Locked In?): 48 PSI steady. It'll be steady once in a while, Usually jumps around between 40-60 PSI.
    50% Boost: 55 PSI
    50% Boost, Car was only at 3K RPM after I applied more throttle from 2K RPM, While TC was locked in. <-- might be a little confusing.

    And there it is folks.

    At WOT, PSI was always at 60.
