Default Where should my fuel pressure be at.

I am having trouble figuring out where my fuel pressue should be at. At idle it sits around 35 an jumps when I hit boost. Here are the mods

T3/T4, FMIC, HKS SSBOV, MSD 6-BTM, Vortec FPR, Magnecore wires, Deltagate 35mm wastegate, Airtex Inline FP, Apexi Cat-back, AEM Fuel Rail, Missing Link.

Originally I had a Holley 255 on the car with out a inline and was running around 40 -45 psi at idle, took the holley out, put the stock back in and added the inline and now I am sitting around 33 - 37 psi. Should the PSI be higher at idle? As soon as I hit boost the fuel gauge shows it increasing to compesate for boost. At 5lbs the gauge is maxed out. The gauge reads to I think 100 PSI

It is the LS motor, I have a 7lb spring, but I have never gotten over 6lbs. Any ideas why that might be happening? yes, I have the 12:1 FPR. It seems to work pretty good. At about 1 lb it goes up about 12 psi on the fuel gauge.

My EGT usually runs between 1000 and 1400 farhenheit. I was throwing codes for being too rich, but I leaned it out on the AFC.
