Car: Yes
Engine: Usually
Transmission: Sometimes
Axle/Gears: Behind me somewhere
For both, if a properly selected cam is in them that will work for pump gas, 160-185 psi.

Or the same #s for a 8:1 motor, or 9:1, for that matter.

It's more important that they are all about the same (within 10psi or so of each other) than what the actual psi is.
