7 1/2 psi too much?

I was just wondering if 7 1/2 psi on a Edelbrock 750 is too much? I am building a 350 and I don't know if that is too much or not. Thanx.

Borderline high, but that is about what I run too...

1984 z28 w/ a 357 cu in. monster engine which is looking like the posterchild for Edelbrock with the exception of the Holley 750vac... all the suspension stuff... 9-bolt posi disk is in...

I agree with Bio, that's kind of higher than it needs, but should be OK. I like to see about 5-6 psi max.

I agree. Try it..if you have problems with it running overly rich or flooding out..you know why.

I know it's too high for a Qjet. I blew the needle off the seat with exactly that amount of pressure.
