Default Oil Pressure...

What should my oil pressure be at normal temperatures?

It is at about 70(3rd peg) and it just seems a little high from what I'm used to in my other car(Like 40)

Is this bad?

With engine at normal operating temp, oil pressure should be at least 6 psi at 1000 rpm, 18 psi at 2000 rpm, and 24 psi at 4000 rpm. These seem kinda low to me, but that's what the specs are. I've got a ported ls6 pump and am running around 70-80 psi.
