I agree with both DAK and Don,
There's lot's of variables with getting the right settings on the leak down.
EX: if you buy a new hilborn stacks injection from Hilborn it will come preset at 26/28 PSI leak down and they recommend a 110 pill starting point. Everything want be right but it will be close.
Ron's, hilborn, and Enderle all have different barrel valves. I too start at 30PSI leak down and except for the enderle hat on a tunnel ram, i've had to come down to get good response. I have run as low as 18PSI with a 2 7/16" stacks injection with a PG 150-1 pump. Most people i know do not have EGT setups so they go by the temp of the motor.
I have 3 different setups, a bowl,stacks and blown and they all require different leakdown settings, but i think the leakdown setting has been pretty well explained.
I can remember running blown gas 40 yrs ago when no one had ever heard of a leakdown reading the hilborn barrel valve had a slot that looked like a screwdriver slot in the end of the barrel valve, you set that parallel and adjusted it until the throttle was crisp. Days gone by but still good in theory.
