Default quick question

i recently broke a rocker. so i went to my buddy's place where he had a lift and dropped the motor. figured this way i can take it down to the block to ensure it was a clean break. however when we put everything back together i put an LS6 ported oil pump in. my question is to the guys who are running these things, where does your pressure sit during idle? mine is around 30 maybe a little below and the idle is sitting at 1k which is normal after it was tuned. when i put my foot into it the pressure will rise accordingly but i know when i had my stock oil pump i sat at 40psi and ir rose from there according to my RPM's. also I'm not using an aftermarket oil pressure gauge i'm reading the factory one. any suggestions/answers? thanks!

I would put a mechanical gauge on it to make sure just in case. My car idles around 950 when warmed up and and at 55-60psi
