Oil Pressure ? (Again)

O.k. I finally got the engine together and running. What should it be stock at idle? At cruise, say 5th or 6th at 60mph? And then W.O.T.?

I am seeing 25-30psi at idle. At cruice about the same. At W.O.T, maybe 50 psi. I am a little concerned.

Thanks

I have about the same pressures and everyone has told me its OK. I did bump up from 5-30 to 10-30. I see about 5PSI higher across the board.

I will be using my snap-on mechanic gauge to confirm the pressures. Its just I have a new autometer sport comp gauge and sender and I am used to the gen1 and 2 motors style of oil pressure.
