Default Fuel pressure drop

It used to stay at 58 but ever since i put 60lb injectors in it stays at 54. I havn't changed anything else. Maybe it's the summer heat? I have a 98 so i have the return system. Also i hear some people talk about being boost referenced. How does this work and would it help? Oh, i have the LPE intank pump. I also have a BAP still in the box.

Mine ran a constant 61 now it sets at around 57. Asked several people that work on turbos and sc and they said it is normal because of the heat

Does it stay at 54 at idle and WOT, if so put the BAP on and you should be back to 58-60 like before. If I knew how boost reference worked I would tell you as my mechanic did this for my setup and I see 50 at idle at 58-60 while at WOT and I also have the 97 return system and LPE pump, but have the KB BAP installed

Today I have her out for an extended period and my fp stayed a rock solid 58-60 while I was doing some extended hill country boost in South Texas and the heat was 96-98 during this time with my AC on
