Mine hits about 140-145psi at redline. Idle on a cold start is around 95-100, then 15-25 when warm.

That's really high. Where are you reading from? What RPM is that?

Hey Macaroni i think there might be something wrong with your gauge. You should get that checked out cause im running about same pressures as others in thread

That's about what mine was reading too, dunno where it was mounted to, pretty sure it was the head. Only diff was that I was at about 8 at idle.

Look behind the cam angle sensor. There are 2 plugs in the head. You can use either of those to run your oil psi. It will more than likely be there.

If you're reading oil off of the top of the head, your numbers are going to be WAY lower than those of us reading off of the galleys by the filter. You're probably alright.
