Default To much Fuel PSI

Just installed a Racetronics fuel pump kit and the factory pressure was 58. After the installation it went to 60psi. After a few weeks of driving I notice the fuel pressure at idle is 70psi? what gives? Is the regulator going bad in the tank?

Any info would be great? Also If I snap the throttle WOT it will drop to 60psi for a second then climb right back up to 70psi
Thanks

Default regulator

No I don't. Can you put one on those cars...would it go in the tank or under the car or what? I didn't see a return line on the fule rail only the T-fitting around the fuel filter. Should I install one there?

Thanks
