That is awfully low. You are on the verge of too low during a WOT run, let alone idle or just key on. Mine is regulated down to 60 PSI with a stock fuel pump. Your pump is fading, the regulator is leaking internally, or the tank needs to be dropped for a Hutch mod. The most common fix by far is the Hutch mod because of the dismal design of the pickup system.

If your fuel pick up is the culprit you can score a temporary fix by pulling the fuel hose off of the rear end of the fuel pump and blowing air back through the tank. It is located inside the frame under the driver's seat. The retainer clip is a white horseshoe shaped piece of plastic that comes out easily with a screwdriver then the hose slips off. That clip usually breaks and needs replacement and I have found them at every auto parts store I have looked for them in.

Remove your fuel cap before blowing the air back through and you can hear it bubble in there when the air goes through.

If this solves it then you are looking at a hutch mod for a permanent fix like Tugly said.
