I have seen a lot of setups do worse than your numbers depending on the application and parts selected.
I would say you need to try bleeding the system a little more. I have this problem all the time. Each time I bleed it with the mity-vac it gets better. Buy one and try it. They are only like 25 or 30 bucks from harbor freight.
I put a small piece of clear hose on the bleeder valve then slide it over the tube on the mity vac. Have some one stand up there and just poor the fluid in while your pumping it out the bottom. Keep emptying the cup on the vac and doing it again. I will do this like 3 or 4 times.
On the last cycle, reach up there and hand tighten the valve with the hose. Then take the hose off and tighten the valve better with the ratchet.
See if this does not help your problems.
