Default what is your oil psi in your 98 fbody/vette?

Seeing that 98's have a bad rep. for oil pump failures, answer the following question:

If you have a stock oil pump in your 1998 fbody/vette, what oil pressure does it read at cold start, hot idle, at cruise, and under full load?

GC0W30 with 2500 miles on the oil, cold start 60PSI cold partial load (no cold WOT) buried past 80, warm idle 42PSI, warm WOT around 55PSI

98 Formula M6
90k miles, lots of racing
Mobil 1 5w30
Cold start 50+=ish
Warm Idle 35-40
Cruise 45-50
WOT 60

However, after some vigorous road racing the idle pressure drops to about 20ish and wot drops a bit also.. Basically drops a good deal all around.
