As for oil pressure, does Mast have a particular set of numbers that they like to see?

Hope you get all these issues sorted Chad!

Thanks Matt. Me too. Mast indicated that warm oil pressure at idle would normally be in the 35-45 PSI range. They didn't give me a high RPM or WOT range.

Ha, I get what you mean and can logically agree with you but you know that is honestly easier said than done sometimes. Probably going to order a fuel pressure gauge for the fuel rail tonight. I had one on my old motor. I can't believe the difference in cost between a mechanical fuel pressure gauge and electric one that you can have in the car though, wow.
