i recently put an oil pressure gauge on my 98 gt, it has a 4v oil pump, and its a 2v, just did that for more volume pretty much. But the other day i hooked it up, and the car was prolly 20 degrees, it jumped to around 90psi at IDLE! driving pegged the gauge at around 110psi, warm driving its around 75-80psi and idling its around 40-45. I understand why in the cold its so damn high, just seeing if you guys have an actual gauge on yours and what it runs.

My electrical oil pressure gauge crapped out on me, but cold 80 psi's sound normal, depending on oil weight, and when driving for while 30-40 psi's give or take.
