Max fuel pressure to put on a p7100

I set mine there because my old Walboro pump drained down to 0 last time I went drag racing. Truck is strong with this Air Dog, I took it for a ride and got on it pretty good, fuel pressure guage moved maybe a lb or two stayed around 40psi.

40-45 psi is plenty of pressure there is no gain above that. As for max pressure the seals will live a long time well over 50psi I would be more worried about cavitaion and eroding on the inside of the pump with anything over that. Dual feed with 5/8 line at 40psi and you will have plenty of psi and volume.

I have seen as high as 50 at wot, with a belt drive. Installed the pump about 3 months ago, no problems yet.

I have to ask, why? Cavitation occurs from a sudden extreme pressure drop, and erosion is a result of flow. Since pressure has almost no effect on flow I do not see how either could be a problem.

if i remember correctly i think Jim Fulmer did a test and found there is no gain over like 45 psi of fuel pressure

With the constant flow of fuel in and out of the pump it can cause erosion, I have seen alot of housing with erosion problems with stock fuel pressure(25-30psi)

i'm running 1/2" dual feed, pump is moving 1gpm give or take (going by aeromotive flowchart) set @ 40ish (i say ish because the gauge on my regulator bounces around like a fish out of water) noticed a "stronger" sounding idle and noticebly stronger mid-top fueling bumping it from 20 to 40, but nothing really after that in my own "testing"
