With the stock regulator, I believe it's 57-58psi and it drops like ten PSI or so when under load, someone correct me if I'm wrong though.

About 58 psi, and I'm pretty sure it should NOT drop at any time while the engine is running.

Yea it should never drop, if it does it isnt getting enough fuel, A=fuel filter stopped up
B= Fuel pump is getting weak C= losing voltage

It shouldn't drop. In fact if it did anything it should raise, but that is on cars that use a vacuum fuel pressure regulators. We don't have those on ours. Just some worthless info to throw out there
