SC400 Max Fuel Pressure (help please!)

SC400 Max Fuel Pressure (help please!)
I have a sc400 with 1jz single swap. Stock sc400 fuel pump, stock lines, AEM FPR, 440cc injectors (750s and rail waiting to go in ), big 70mm turbo.
I need to know what is the max fuel pressure that a healthy stock sc400 fuel system can put out?
I am having leaning issues starting around 7-8psi. I have already tried adjusting fuel map all the way up at those datum points. I just don't think I am supplying enough fuel. BUT, I have had the car for 4 months now, and haven't had these issues. I am wondering if my fuel pump and/or filter are going bad. Although, previous owner supposedly put brand new pump in shortly before I picked it up.
The MOST I can adjust the FPR up to is 38PSI (with vacuum connected). I seem to think before when I first started tuning it, that I was able to adjust it much more than that.
Please guys, give me some numbers if you know them and thanks.

Thanks bud. I came across a page in the manual that says that with vacuum disconnected, expect 38-44psi. With vacuum connected, expect 28-34psi. So, I guess the pump is putting out what it's supposed to. I will have to see what happens when I put in the larger injectors. Might have to go to a walbro.

This problem ended up being the fuel pump. Previous owner had a stock SC400 pump installed, which apparently got lazy. I also changed the fuel filter. The old filter had much more restriction while blowing through it than the new one. That however, did little to help the situation. Once I installed an Aeromotive 340 stealth, the leaning issues went away, and I was able to adjust fuel pressure to at least 60 psi (didn't try to go anymore but could've). Thanks guys
