Default fuel pressure question

what is the norm for pressure on a 01 ls1 stock fuel system? when i hooked the gauge up and turned key on it was around 30. with it running it was 55-58 and under load dropped to 50 or so. is this a issue with my mods? should it hold steady under load?

Ideally it should hold steady, but a 5-8 psi should be okay. Mine drops about that much, and I have a built HCI LQ9 with a 100 shot to boot

could it maybe be a sign that injectors are maxed and not able to get the fuel it needs?

Well maybe, but in my case for example I have 42 lb injectors, so the drop is coming from somewhere else for me
