Default Oil Pressure

i just picked up my 02 CETA a few weeks ago, and since i got it the oil pressure has been up around 50-60 at all times.

now, i could just be paranoid since im used to my LT1 that would drop low at lower rpms, then jump back up.

is there anything i should be worried about ? or is this a normal LS1 type deal.

P.S. i have changed the oil, and the pressure is the same

Sounds like you have a good pump.

Could be it has very thick oil in it. Presuming the engine is in basically stock form, change the oil to a reasonable 5w-30 oil & see what kind of pressure you get.
