Default Fuel Pressure Inquiry

Although i do own a Factory Service Manual i left it at my parents house since thats where basically all my tools are... But anyway to my question.

What should be the ideal fuel pressure for a LQ4 6.0L?

What i am getting...
@ Idle: 48psi
@ 2,000rpm cruise: 51-52psi
@ WOT: 58psi

Just seem a little low to me as the last time i rebuilt my old yukon (OBS, 5.7L) it should be more around 60-64psi.

58 lbs at all times is what you should be running.

now that I look back the 48 psi at idle might be a little low......Have you replaced your fuel pressure regulator?
