Default 43.5psi stock replacement FPR?

Just curious if anyone knows if there's a stock replacement fuel pressure regulator that runs 43.5psi instead of the stock 58psi? Im gonna be running stock return style rails and an in-line Bosh 044 with 95#@3 bar Injectors, I have no need to run 58psi, the pump flows more at 43.5psi so I'd rather run at that because my injectors wont be the limiting factor.

I dont think there is on..
what about a aeromotive FPR 1:1? You can dial pressure from 30psi to 70psi..

You can adjust the factory regulator, you need a tamperproof torx driver.

Man I already have my entire system setup to run stock rails. And I guess by that I mean all the fancy fittings to connect to the stock rails. Plus I'm about out of money lol. Id rather run a 58psi for now.

I just found this on a different thread:

Unlike the LS1/LS6 motor we do not have a static pressure fuel system. We have a more traditional GM fuel-pressure bypass system. This means the pump is running all the time and the regulator allows fuel to pass above a preset pressure. This pressure is adjusted like any after market Adjustable Fuel Pressure Regulator. The driver's side fuel rail/inlet has a cylindrical devise on the return side of the rail with a #10 security torx bit. You simply have to turn this screw to achieve desired pressure (clockwise=higher pressure/counter-clockwise=lower pressure.) In order to adjust the pressure you will need a fuel pressure gauge to read pressure from the schrader valve and a #10 security torx bit. Be sure to remove vacuum from the regulator to read WOT pressure before adjusting.

I have found 3-5 PSI lower = 5 rwhp on stock tune-no mods. To maintain stable nitrous operation 5-6 PSI higher for 125 (RWHP+.) I have seen much variation from factory on the settings of these regulators. I believe their is some coorolation between the color (lt.blue, yellow, pink) strip painted on the regulator and the factory preset pressure.
