Fuel pressure drop

Is a small drop in fuel pressure not normal?

I notice mine runs at 66lbs normally but under WOT drops to ~57lbs.

The stock pump has a filter that supposedly was maintenance free. Not sure about the magna pump?

Is the FP gauge a recent addition and now you are watching it getting paranoid or was it usually sitting at 66 and now it drops? I know most sit at 62psi at WOT. Wide Band installed?
