Default Fuel pressure drop at high RPM

look for some input to point me in the right direction before i just start pulling stuff apart i have a 2012 GMC Sierra 1500 5.3 with a s475 Turbo the truck got dropped off to be dyno tuned yesterday and i got a call from them saying that at 6000 rpm the truck goes from 58psi of fuel pressure down to 38psi I’m running a walbro 450 with 88lb injectors we made 554rwhp on 15.4 of boost wondering if the factory wiring harnesses could be to blame or also wondering if my fuel pressure regulator location is to blame i know you want it as close to the rail as possible it is currently mounted on the frame rail under the driver door it has about a 2’ line from the regulator to the rail any input would be great thanks

Is your writing coming off the battery or the alternator?

I would never trust the factory harness to power a pump that pulls close to 20 amp at 60psi.

Is your regulator boost referenced?
