80 PSI is too low. Pretty sure when I get on it, it goes up to and over 100 on my BFs...

I too want to get an oil pressure gauge, what size are the stock gauges and does SW make the same size so I could swap out the stock boost gauge? Any recommendations on where I could buy the gauge?

so if people are pegging their 100psi ones does it really matter if you are pegging an 80psi one...

I would think it would be fine, it's not so much how high it reads, it's making sure your oil pressure doesn't get too low. Don't worry about it.

I just found a nice 150 psi oil pressure gauge from VDO....

I think I will replace my gauges with VDO -- Voltage, Oil Pressure, Oil Temp....Although it would be ideal for me to just find a small (factory size) oil pressure gauge so I dont have to replace the other two...(I found the gauges at 42draftdesign)...

Anyone know of a factory size pressure gauge?

80 is to low, specially if you don't have any balance shafts.
