That seems REALLY high, especially for an LS2.

Sounds like he's running 5w/30 oil. Thats OK oil pressure but I'd switch to 10w/40 synthetic.

Sounds perfectly normal to me. I run Amsoil 5/30 and get about 30 at idle and high 50's at high rpm with my LS2. I can break out my GTO manual and quote you the spec, but hot at idle the min pressure is something like 15 psi.
