If that is while the pump was running then you don't have a ground problem. If you did then those two tests would vary significantly. It appears that you have good power to the pump. There are rare and strange power problems that can occur such as a marginal connection that does not show up until more current/heat flows through it but it's unlikely. Repeating that test a handful of times in a row can help rule that out if you want to be extremely thorough.

So new pump showed up yesterday and I installed it tonight. Soldered the splices this time.
I can report that fuel pressure does hold. I tested under the hood. Still only goes to 50 while at idle but it does hold now after I turn the key off.
STFT B1 3.1%
LTFT B1 25%
STFT B2 2.3%
LTFT B2 23.4%
Admittedly it runs slightly better without the hesitation I was getting, but it still isn’t quite right. And I still have P0171 & P0174 codes. I cleared them when I packed up for the night so I guess we’ll see tomorrow if they come back.
Any other ideas on the long term fuel trim being so high?

I am actually suggesting these tests at the fuel rail Schrader on top of the engine. We need to confirm that at key on with engine off that the rail at the engine develops 60-66 psi and after the pump stops priming and the engine is still off that the system can hold 55 psi for ten min. Once we have established that this is the case then we can move on to other issues. At this point we still don't know if your fuel system pressures are 5x5.
