Default Too much oil pressure?

When i did my cam install i went with a MTI ls6 pimp. The pressure started fine at start up, and ive never had any problems with the motor or oil comsumption. BUt SOMETIMES my pressure will read like 85~psi...most of the time its in the 60-70 range though.. Should i worry about anything or am i ok?

Check or replace the oil pressure sending unit or check and make sure the IPC is f*cked up.

My pressure is up there until it warms up and the oil gets warm and thins out a little...then I ususally see about 45-50 avg with the high side at the track being up in the 80ish range......
