Ideally, you'll leave it at stock fuel pressure. That's what your injectors are rated at. If you change the FP, you may have a hard time getting it tuned.

Stock is about 43-45 with vac line off and about 8 less with vac line on.

What pressure did you tell your tuner it was set at? He needed to know that to put the correct injector flow constant in the tune. If you didn't tell him anything about the fuel pressure, he would have assumed its at 43.5psi (no vacuum).
