What is your oil pressure when cruising on the highway?
At around 80 mph, I am seeing about 90 psi on the stock gauge. This seems kinda high to me, what are others seeing? Also, it's a new sending unit.

Rich, assuming a cruising speed of 80 mph in 5th gear (3k rpm), you should be about 50-60 psi of oil pressure. However, I have noticed that since I installed my RE dual oil coolers, that the oil pressure is higher (I presume mostly due to lower oil temps).
Oil pressure will depend on oil viscosity, temperature, and probably other factors. What rpm are you seeing 90 psi at?

Amsol 20w50, between 3000 and 3200 rpms in 5th.
