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.

By cruise, he means around 3K RPMs .

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!
