Just serviced / New Water Pump

Was having some trouble in tough conditions getting on plane recently, recorded some numbers in smooth water yesterday after I removed one plug and lowered engine 1/2":
numbers off of smartcraft and gps
Idle at 580 rpm / Water pressure at 4.2 psi
About 4-5 seconds to get on plane
3750 to 3800 rpm
With minimal trim:
45 mph / 4510 rpm / 14.1 psi
With minimal trim:
63 mph / 5800 rpm / Water pressure at 9.8 psi
I do not know what is too much or too little trim at speed ..... no chine walk at 63 but extremely stiff steering
(had wife so did not push it any harder)
I adjusted my PTP and removed one plug ..... my holeshot was improved which was my goal, but the 9.8 psi at nearly WOT seems low
Any comment on these numbers as I know very little.
