There's no way thats right, the guage maxes out at 80 anyway.

With my ported LS6 pump, mine sits at about 45psi at idle, and around 60psi while cruising.

Just at 40psi idling hot 60 psi on cold starts. Once warm the psi will hit 60 when I get on it. Stock pump from a 98 ls1 running Mobile 1 Syn 0w-40.
