My 87 GXL has always been at ~60 lb/in when the oil is full at 3,000+ (sometimes goes higher when I'm pushing harder), and ~30 lb/in at 500rpm idle.

60 is where mine is at speed. Idle is around 45., No worries mate.

hmm... the way i drive mine it sits at idle around 45-65 and at wot 90-100+

100 would seem like you have a problem...
i rarely get above 60 on mostly stock cars
and i've never got above 100 on highly modded cars.
then again, doesn't the stock pressure regulator vent at like 60 or 80?
