That will vary depending on how much vaccumm you are pulling at idle... Depending on the cams used it can be all over the place...
It will definetly be less than 39psi though
Its best to just pop the vaccumm line off and check / adjust it.

This would be done because less vacuum is present at the regulator and it stays shut to allow less fuel to return. Or does the L have the injector duty cylce change instead?

My 03L and my 01L both have / had fuel pressure gauges on them all the time once I installed my lower pulleys. The fuel systems where untouched (stock pumps, lines, injectors) and both trucks where making just shy of 15psi unless it was very cold out.
At idle you should be seeing 32/33psi, My current truck goes to about 54psi at WOT and stays there. Both trucks were holding A/F ratios in the low 11's BTW.
