Default Fuel Pressure hitting low levels

I've just purchased my first cummins diesel 2 months ago, i'm still a rookie, so please bare with me. I just installed the Edge Juice with Attitude and i've noticed my fuel pressure is averaging 9psi when driving normal. When i bump the programmer up to level 2 or 3 then punch it, fuel pressure drops down to 3psi which can't be good. Even at stock it drops to 5psi when i put the fuel to it.My truck is a 2002 and the only mod i've done is the programmer. I'm looking into the FASS system but i'm unsure which model would be best. The only other mod i might do is a cold air intake, thats it. So i found this one on ebay, can somone please tell me if this is the right system for my truck, Thanks

Heres the link.. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/98-5-...QQcmdZViewItem

Anything over five and you will be fine. 9-10 is normal steady state driving and a drop to 5 is typical when you go to the wall. If you are worried just lay off putting your foot into it.

im assuming theres a banjo fitting, on the cp3 that you can change and plug a gauge into, or just go out and buy the edge juice with attitude bro!
