Default Whats normal water pressure, stock hp500's

After hearing about picking up the bag, i decided to order a set of water pressure gauges. Whats normal, so i know what to look for? Stock hp500's, carbed in a 36 baja outlaw.

It increases exponentially with how fast you are running and the type of drive (pick-up) you have... IE at 80mph it might be 20 psi, but at 100mph it could be 35 psi....

The most you want to see at WOT is 25psi. Idle will barely move the needle on the gauge.
Mine runs about 12psi at 3500rpms and 18 at wot, at least when the tube isn't plugged
