0, 20, 40, 60, 80 are the marks. the three in the middle are 20/40/60.
My ls1 with 130k has 50psi cold idle, 40-45psi warm idle, 35psi with the ac on, 60ish WOT... according to the stock gauge..

146K Mine sits at 40PSI Hot on the stock gauge 50-60PSI cruising depending on RPM's and I don't pay attention at WOT unless I saw the gauge fall.
BTW Don't think the factory gauge is accurate. Take it with a grain of salt.
