Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Few noob ?s

My VP44 has been going down the drain for a few months now and I ordered another along with the Juice Attitude. I currently run an in-tank LP as well as an external LP with the Vulcan big line kit. I had a mech. fuel gauge on it which never seemed to have read right. Now with the attitude(it showed before the new VP44) it shows Im at roughly 24 at idle and 14 WOT. Is this much pressure too much or is it that my VP44 is just not using the fuel its being given? Ive read and spoken to guys who say anything over 14 will burn up the VP. I know its a fine line but where are you Walbro and Holley blue guys running at? Also what numbers are you guys seeing out of your Attitudes? Im hitting 31 on the boost which is the preset alarm. Is this normal. I have messed with the Attitude plenty just not on Cummins so every one seems to be different.

Thanx

I have 23psi idle & 10 wot & have had no problems at all. My brother has the holley inline feeding a stock lp & gets 25psi idle & 15 wot... . he has only been running it for 10k miles, but no problems at all.

I am also only getting 1050 or so on the egt's. Im sure this is due to my VP dying but just curious.

I recently got sick of replacing LP's and worrying about losing another VP44, so I put on a Walbro (Glacier Diesels GDP392 kit) fairly quick and straight forward install, took about 3 hours. My pressure has been steady at 14-15 psi at idle and it does not drop at all under WOT. (yes, guage is working).

being high will not hurt the vp. it will change the calibration, but will not hurt it. My truck idles around 24-25 and wot is usually no less than 15.

Im not too nervous just wanted to hear some feedback.

I've ran a Glacier for about a month,16 at idle and 14WOT. I'm happy.
