There shouldn't be much more than 15psi anywhere in the system 'cept for the IP, unless you're running a high-pressure pump/regulator setup of some kind. Piston pump will run around 15psi, stock pump around 7psi.

I used a 15psi gauge. Easier to see small fluctuations. Runs close to pegged most of the time.

Thanks Ace. Is it an Autometer? In trying to keep all guages the same, I would need to check if Autometer's Z series comes in 15 psi.

I have the Autometer Carbon Fiber, post filter. I got a tapped banjo from Genos and installed a bleed screw, needle valve for shutoff and a snubber to keep the gauge steady:
