Not quite sure what you mean by 55lb and 65 lb, and if the pressure regulator is adjustable or not, but here is the info available for the fuel injection systems according to the motor manual:

1998 thru 1995 .................................. 9 to 13 psi
1995 and later
V6 and small block V8.....................60 to 66 psi
7.4L V8 engines.............................56 to 62 psi

If adjustable, I woludn,t increase the pressure to much more than 2 - 3 % for fear of blowing out the seals in the injectors or some where along the delivery system.

Okay, what did the 65lb p/h nozzles come out of or did you buy them aftermarket? If they came out of or are intended for a specific application, you will more than likely have to supply fuel pressure that is specified for that intended application. If you bought them aftermarket, the supplier should be able to tell you what they are intended to fit. Hope this helps
