I'll give it a whirl, but I have never just installed a transgo kit without doing other mods to the VB that aren't in the instructions.
Here is a close to accurate 48re:
Idle, in gear - 80-90psi
Cruising, TC locked - 130-160psi (depending on how much throttle is being applied)
WOT - 180-200psi
Pressure should come up smoothly, but quickly with throttle. At around 120-130psi, shifts to 2nd gear. Same for 3rd. If and when the TC locks in 3rd you'll see 150ish. OD is around 120-130, then you get TC lock up in OD, and see 130-160psi.
Not exact by any means, but it may be helpfull to ya. These numbers may be 10-20psi higher than a normal VB with just a shift kit. Also these are on built tranny's, whitch tend to have better pressure, too.

Extra stuff to include:
Billet parts from http://www.transmissioncenter.net/dodge.htm
#3SC - Intermediate Servo Cover or #3S2 if you don't mind the extra cost
#4BA - 2nd gear band anchor
#4BS - Band Strut
A billet second gear band apply lever like #4LG. Not sure if the levers they list are the correct ones for your application.
