Do you have an adjustable regulator? If so, increase the idle pressure to 43 with vac line off, then re-test drive. I gotta agree with lrayzer though, if your pressure isnt climbing higher than 33 you PROBABLY need a new pump (especially if it's a stock unit). I'll make another suggestion on pump supplier - racetronix. They are a supporting vendor and also have great products like brian at gbodyparts. The racetronix sender / pump combo is about as simple as it gets since it comes all pre-wired and everything. Just hang it in the tank, plug it in and fire it up. Keep us posted!
