My 406 with a Holley 750 runs at 7psi with a new edelbrock high performance mechanical fuel pump. I still have the stock heads though so its probably not as powerful as yours so i guess 7-8psi sounds good.

One more thing, that same edelbrock fuel pump is suppossed to be good up to 550hp at 6-7 psi, so you might not need all that pressure, i guess it depends on the pump that you have. Some pumps will flow more at lower psi then other pumps at higher psi from what i was reading through jegs and summit racing catalogs.
