Default Installed new pump..

Just installed new pump , hot wire kit , and modified the fuel bucket...
At idle and normal cruise speeds pressure is at 60psi but WOT at about 6200 rpms it dips down to between 56-58 psi... Is the ok ?

I would not worry about a 2 to 4psi drop my car started to go between 6-8psi drop that is when I went with a boost referenced return style fuel system.

Its a kit that runs a wire from the pump to the Batt to keep it at full voltage at WOT...
