Default fuel pressure

i finaly got a gauge on my bbk regulator today.

was sitting at 39 psi at an idle, with vaccum off.. which is good.

got on it really hard, WOT 1st, 2nd, and letting off about 4k in 3rd.

came back to the shop and popped the hood, and it was at about 25 with vaccum on, and 35 with it off. so i increase it to 39 with vaccum off and drove it home. pop hood again and now its at 41 at idle with vaccum off and about 30-ish something with vaccum on.

im not really sure whats going on. even at 41 the car isnt really running rich.

should i just leave it how it is? car was fully warmed up, 190F with about 44 psi oil pressure at idle.
