Would anyone happen to know what the fuel pressure is on the early FI cars?

I'm sorry fellas. Again, thank you most Art and Steven. I'm still a Jag imbecile. But I can learn! And I'm very anxious to do just that! And I know people that know what I don't. That is how I finally got my own Jaguar!!! Yeehaww! That cheer was from me, an good ole' Kentucky Country Boy that ownes his first Jaguar! Had a BMW 530i that was my love. Had a Triumph TR7. Actually, two of those (nice to have a parts car when you own a Triumph as in many British cars) Have a BMW 635csi. My mechanic has stored it for the last 8 years (driven daily). which I would gladly negotiate a trade for a dependable XKE...my favorite car in LIFE! I also have a BMW motorcycle that I could throw in. So, here's the deal....Sorry for drifting off on one of my usual, non relative tangents, but....1996 BMW K1100RS + 1986 BMW 635csi, +1999 XJR = 1 dependable (most operative word from the likes of me!) XKE! I love 12 cylinders. But if I can negotiate this thing, I will put the 12 cylinder mill on the shelf and throw a chevy V8 327 or 427 in it. Just for practicality AND preservation! Please perservere with me all of you fine gentlemen! Your tolerance is indeed appreciated by this old KY boy!! And Art, you're the most! So, can I get 35 to 45 psi out of my supercharger? I fear that would "spload may engine!" And one more ask for forgiveness here, but not so much.... I'm typing this with a huge bandage on my fingerfr ffommm cleaning up after my Derby Guests. One thagt still won't leave!!! I love the guy but he's a friend of a friend who just doesn't want to leave! You guys remember that old Belushi Routine dontcha! So you understand me. Thanks again for you patience tonight. He's out with a lady friend tonight. For all of your benefit, and his, I'll say-no-more!

Hey no problem, we all started somewhere.. nice car you have to start with for sure.F1 is fuel injection........ actually we should probably say EFI for Jags.. Electronic Fuel Injection......

Gentlemen,
Please forgive my continued lack of inteligence about our favorite mark. But do I misunderstand the original question? F1 fuel pressure? I have an XJR that wouldn't produce that much pressure with my Supercharger. And an F1?!! Again, please forgive my newbe ingnorance. Your tolerance and advise is appreciated.

Oh, and in case it will help with my education on Jaguars, mine as pictured, is a 1999 Supercharged XJR V8. My first Jag. Bought it in January of this year.
