Question stock TPI fuel pressure?

what should my fuel pressure be at idle on a stock TPI system? i thought it was over 40psi right? i tested mine and its at 35psi all the time. when i rev it up it will spike to about 42psi then go right back to 35psi even if i hold the throttle open at a constant rpm. is that ok or sound like a bad fuel pressure regulator or fuel pump?

it always stays at 35psi, if i bring up up to 3k rpm and hold it the psi will jump to 43 and then drop quickly to 35psi again.... im thinkin a FPR but have no idea. the car also stuters and sometimes stalls but always starts back up
