You can get away with that but if you are at Sea Level you will work the infectors a bit harder. I would recomend that you run at least 36lb, but if you are planing on putting on better heads and cam then you should look at the 42lb. A GREAT place to get the programable computer for your car and to get even more information is http://tweecer.com

I would go with that chip if I were you. The main problem with running those is that the computer will start to think that something is wrong and make subtle changes to compensate and after a while you will have to reset the computer by removing the battery for 15 minutes. I recommend going with the Tweecer programable computer. Not only is it the best thing you can get but it is nicely priced at about $500.00.
To answer the other question you can fully adjust the pulsewidth and fuel delivery using the tweecer, but yes you can get away with also. Just be sure to run the pressure as low as you can.

Just hookup the tester to the test port and leave it attached while you adjust it. I have even left mine attached at times while driving so I know what the max and min pressure is.
