Default Stroker guys, what's your oil pressure?

What oil pump do you have, what oil, and what's your oil pressure @ idle?

I'm using 10W-30 Royal Purple and after riding around for awhile at idle it's a line under 40psi. I also have a FMS ported LS6 oil pump. Is this normal? In my old 5.3 I had 40psi with the stock oil pump/Mobile 1 5W-30 at idle.

When I built my 408 I used a blueprinted LS6 oil pump. Has a nice, fat 60 psi oil pressure at idle. Just the way I like it. I use Mobil 1 synthetic.
