Default Oil pressure

I know this topic has been covered before and I've done a bunch of searches before I posted, but I'm new to f-bodies and just needed to check if this was normal for my 02 SS 95 thousand miles stock oil used recently mobile 1 5w30
this is what the pressure is at a stand still.

Here is what the pressure looks like while driving


Don't know if I should be concerned, or maybe the gauge went bad.
Any advice is welcomed

I think it's fine. But you can/should use a mechanical gauge to confirm your dash gauge is correct. My gauge from the factory was overestimating the oil pressure by 10 psi, so I pulled the needle off the gauge and moved it so it's reading correctly now. Could be a bad sensor, but it works fine other than being off.

+1 check with a mechanical gauge to be for sure.
