The highest FI pressure that I am aware of for a production car, is 63
PSI. We make most of the regulators that are use. Your Cad has a
regulator that is set for 58psi plus or minus .7 psi.  I program the
machines that make most regulators sold to the car manufacturers.
Yes, there are a couple regulators made for race engines that go to 90
psi, but that is race engines.
I have sold fuel hose to these race builders, but not the stuff you were
sold.
