Safe fuel pressure

I run Ford SVO #32 (red tops) @ 50psi (3.5bar) with 255 hp Walbro fuel pump.
What will be safe maximum fuel pressure for these injectors and fuel pump.

best regards

Re: Safe fuel pressure

I'm have my Ford 30lb red tops pressure at 58psi, with vacuum line disconnected at idle. I spoke to SouthBay injectors about this a while back and they said my injectors at that pressure would perform like a 36lb injector at 43psi.
