Depends on the builder--depends on whether it is @ min. or max. TV
My trans puts out 90 PSI @ min. (idle) and 270 @ max. (WOT)
I believe max. in the Buick manual is just under 200.
Larger boost valves and pressure reg. spring are the 2 main items that will increase Max. pressure.
Lost as to what you are asking in the second ?

There is a pressure setting at idle and at 2000 rpm. I am trying to find out what they should be set at with car in individual gears.

This chart I got has some but not all info I am seeking.
