LS6 Cam startup

Got the cam swap done last night and had a chance this morning to get a quick start up, idle, and rev clip. We swapped out the oil pump while in there with a ported/shimmed LS6 pump and I have crazy oil pressure. At warm idle it sits just a bit above 60psi. Have not got a chance to drive it around yet to see what kind of pressure there is while cruising and WOT. Is this a healthy PSI to be running at as long as I'm not blowing any seals???? Well enough typing and here are the videos.....

Thank you very much sir! I'm excited about how it sounds and very anxious to hear what it's going to sound like with full exhaust.

Planning on FI in the future and had to do an oil pump swap so figured I would have it thrown in there at the same time.
