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.

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?
