Oil Pressure Reading

I installed an AEM Oil Pressure gauge on my cylinder head right, as seen here:



The highest the pressure is reading is 32 PSI, is this normal or should it be reading higher?

Thanks

You need to be reading off the block--which would read around 80-100 psi cold. You likely have a restrictor in the head to keep pressure managed so you dont over oil the cam and lifters causing other issues.
