Yeah what i was trying to say is that YES those numbers are normal, but more often than not (from what ive found) your gauge isnt reading right and will say about 30 at idle and 50 at anything over 1500 rpm.

I actually decided to pay attention to it when i was driving today, and at idle when warm (600 RPM) the gauge would float between 36-40 PSI and when i start to get on the gas it will go to 55-57 then if im climbing a hill at about 2500 RPM it will hit 60 PSI.

Those seem like pretty good normal numbers to me. I think the lowest ive seen my pressure is 30 at idle and that was after brand new oil.
