oil pressure

I was wondering what all you guys with 12A's are getting for oil pressure. My oil pressure varies between 30 and 60 psi depending on rpm's. That seems like a lot of variation to me but maybe it's normal.

Depeding on oil weight and rpm, anywhere between 30psi at idle and 70psi at 4.5k.

Anything 15psi and below is just asking for trouble!
