Default Fuel pressures within limits?

Hi all, I have a 2002 Z with an stock 430hp LS3, stock fuel pump/injectors. My question is at ignition ON fuel pressure is at 58psi and engine running its 66 psi. Will this affect my tune or cause any other troubles? It is a track car only so it lives at hi revs, THX!

First of all why is it 66?? Do have return system With FPR. And finally yes it will affect the tune if it wasn't tuned to that pressure. Well it does matter on my car if the PSI changes. More PSI it leans out and less gets rich a big difference on my car. But if ur redlining and PSI don't drop that much ur good to go.

No return line in fuel system, as all emissions have been removed. Im not sure why it reads 66psi, its a OEM fuelfilter/regulator that was changed about a year ago, unless I got a dud.
I did put the old alternator (LS6 2002) back on as I had the 2008 LS3 alt on there. Not sure if that would change anything, but they do look a little different. THX!
