Default stock regulator has too much pressure, what to do?

I figured I would try here first. This is a conversion job, but I used a stock 99-04 vette regulator and I am reading 62 pounds at the rail. Is this too much for a stock engine, and do I need to tune the VE table to compensate.
I wanted to start tuning this beast for optimum power with HPtuners but then I checked the fuel pressure.

Thanks for any help.

Don't worry about 62psi...4psi delta up isn't significant...it will drop some as the pump wears, the sock gets dirty, fuel heats up, etc.

Great thanks very much onfire. I started tuning yesterday and what a difference. It feels much smoother and goes like hell. Can't wait to play with the car now.
