Default 2004 4.8L 1500 fuel pressure

Anyone know where I can find what the correct fuel pressure should be on my 2004 Silverado 4.8 Liter VIN V?

I am trying to troubleshoot P0300 random misfire so am going through potential causes one at a time. The engine starts and seems to run fine but whenever I get out on the highway, the "check engine" light comes on and sometimes begins flashing. I checked the fuel pressure at ignition "on" with engine not running and get a 50 PSI reading. So if this number is borderline low, I'm thinking this COULD be a cause for random misfire. So I would like to know what the official fuel pressure number (or range) is from GM.
