Std pressure is 3 bar(43psi) with vac on, and around 3.6/7 bar(54psi)with vac off.

Ask PJ, as they will havew written the chip with a certain pressure in mind, no doubt as most others do they use std but a quick call will tell you.
Sure std is 3bar vac on, 3.6/3.7 vac off and plugged.

I agree with Alex. Standard pressure is 3.5 bar pump on/engine off or with engine on and vacuum off. At least that is what I measured on my Sierra's, both a 2wd and a 4x4.
