You're sitting right on the problem I'd say.
One or both fuel pumps. If you get 41 at about idle
imagine how it may drop off under high demand.
Best investment would be an extension and some tape.
Seems prudent before proceeding.

A note about the pig tail. It's the only one at that
location so unless someone added something you've got it.
It ONLY works as a test when the key is off. It does nothing
with key on
because the way it is routed through the relays.
ALSO important to note with key off and applying 12v to the
pig tail you get BOTH pumps running. It's a great static test.
From there you can remove one or the other of the fuel pump
fuses to see what pressure each pump can do. You do not want run
these pumps for long periods of time through the pig tail. Just saying.... do each test, not the pressure and shut it off.

As for a place to work on your car. YOU will be the best influence
on how well they do with the car but you have to study up here
on the forum and show them the results.
i thought 42 psi at idle was normal and 52ish when the secondaries kick in
