Default Oil pressure/header install, moderator, please...

Moderator, please move if this thread is in the wrong place. My apologies. A quick question. Installed LT's, been in for 2 days, I've only done light driving thus far. Nothing hard. Yesterday, car finally put up the SES light, no problem, not getting car tuned until I have m ORY on. Open headers right now. My question is, I noticed that my oil pressure during normal acceleration runs about 60psi, and even moves ever so slightly past that. Before the install, at idle, it sat at about 40 and moved gradually towards the 60 mark at normal acceleration. Now after install, sits about 50 and moves rapidly towards 60psi during normal acceleration. Any thoughts? I don't want to sound dumb, but I just don't know. I'm a little hesistant about really "dropping the hammer" just yet. Also, car had oil change about a week before the install, so I know it's not dirty oil, etc.. I appreciate the replies.

Thanks.

If it's got fresh oil then that could do what you explained
