Yeah, I usually tune fuel pressure to a fully warm idle. Even stock FPR that are vac referenced, will increase fuel rail pressure a little bit, as vac gets closer to 0(WOT for a non boosted engine). But since there is no positive pressure acting on the injectors, fuel pressure stays fairly consistant. The thing about FMU's and the like, is that when you want to run larger than stock injectors with a stock ECU, you have to lower the fuel pressure in order to get less fuel spray out of the injector, since the actual injector pulsewidth(injector "on" time) remains the same from the stock ECU.
