Default Fuel pressure a problem?

Hey everyone, got a question...my fuel pressure is about 28-29 psi with the vacuum pressure regulator hooked up...instead of the 31 psi it should be. With vacuum pressure regulator unhooked, it shoots up about 8 psi - so it's fine. Would that little loss of 2-3psi cause any problems? I'm having a bit of an issue with stalling, but don't want to start replacing things as expensive as a fuel pump just to see if it fixes anything.

No one knows? It's not a hard question...but it's pretty important/expensive to me

That small difference might not seem like much, but it makes a big difference to the injectors and the spray pattern that is emitted from them. IMO

Thanks, that's what I was looking for. Anyone else agree/disagree?
