It doesn't really matter since you are just looking at the ratio, but I typically set mine to 80psi. You are supposed to lock the piston at TDC (or some time early in the power stroke) to ensure both valves are closed, but I'm lazy, so I just set the pressure high enough so it forces the piston to BDC. If you have a cam that opens the exhaust valve super early you may have an issue, but what you are really looking for is a cylinder that is drastically different from the others.

Ok
At 100 psi I am even at around 7-10% on that bank

The truck ran amazing last year with the 408 with different heads, cam and headers
But towards the end of the year I thought the race gas messed up my o2s cause my a/F gauge was running richer, plugs looked fine tho
Basically runs same A/F as last year on idle when I thought the o2 was bad.
Got it all buttoned up again but I am gonna try my other computer

So it hasn't run good since the new heads, cam, and headers?

Did you degree in the cam, or are otherwise sure its installed correctly?

Yeah its over fueling since the new parts
I lined the dots up like I have for the other 5 cams swaps I have done.
Won't hurt for me to check it again tho but it's gonna have to wait for another day as that's more time then I have left today. Lol
The computer I have apprently isn't comparable so I gonna have to get a different one.
I really really appreciate the help tho man
