oil line pressure

hey im getting new oil lines and was woundering what the pressure in the lines was?
i cant find it in the manual


also i was woundering if i can go from the stock half metal tubing half ss flex line. to all flex ss line.

i think the ones u can get from racingbeat are all flexable line from the block to the cooler. but i could be wrong. so if sombody could help me that would be good! thanks

Well if your going to be getting new oil lines you need to be sure that they are oil specific and in that case they are most of the time like 300 psi hoses which is more than enough. Although to answer your question it would depend on if you have done any oil pellet mods. But stock, on a cool start up your oil lines will easily see 120-150 psi.
