I kept my fuel pressure in the 43-47 range on a 350 with 24lb inj.
Car uses a stock 85' 305 computer.

I was running in the low 13 range 13.0 best.

Messing with fuel pressure never helped me. Some swear by it.

Also running to much FP can cause the injectors to lock up.

i'm using the 19lbs also with my 350. ona dynojet dyno, my best run was at 49psi. now i only do 14.91 so the 52psi might be just what you need.
