Oil Pressure questions??

Hello. On my 86 n/a I just changed the oil..My oil pressure fluctuates between 30 PSI and under Power it is around 60 Psi..Is this normal or should it be at a constant level..And if it isn't normal than what do I need to purchase to keep it from doing this..Just wondering?? Thanks..

Its like that on every car made, as RPMs rise so does oil pressure.

Just thought I'd throw this info in...

When using the upgraded oil pump (17mm pump), you should see 30-40 psi around idle-1500rpm and about 90psi from 4000rpm-redline.

It was stock in some Rx-7's.
I'm not sure which, but it could have been in the GSL-SE and the FD3S.
