Default fuel pressure dropped since going to track.

My fuel pressure has dropped since running the quarter a couple of weeks ago. When I installed the autometer electric gage about a year ago it has always read around 74-75 psi (I have been told this was a little high). Now it reading about 65psi. I changed the sending unit and replaced the filter and didn't see and difference. Should I be worried about this? Any thoughts or ideas?

does it drop when you "hammer" it?

if it does, thats not exactly a good thing. if its stays constant, then its ok.

74-75 psi is high.

Sounds like your gauge has been screwy all along. With a stock type fuel system it shouldn't read more than 62 PSI.
