Looks kind of low for full throttle. Mine goes to 60 under full throttle and idles at 20. Cruising around 50-60. What oil weight do you use and how many miles on motor? GM general rule of thumb is 10 psi per 1,000 rpms. Are there any ticking noises or knocking? Anything out of the ordinary and when did you first notice it? May also be a lazy sensor. Try a new sensor first.
