Reading my rail mounted fp gauge, set at 40psi at idle, if i rev it up by hand it drops down to like 36psi. This is under no load...So I'm wondering if that's normal, and what happens under load, say WOT 3rd gear?

Did this with my stock pump/19lbs and my new 190plh pump and 30lbs...Fuel filter has less than 100miles on it...
