Normal oil pressure for my set-up

[WhiskeyGN]

Just wondering what you guys think my oil pressure should be with my set up. I've got a 60 lb spring in now, so generally it's around 60, little higher under load, lower when not. Thanks.

60#s hot? what rpm?

 

[WhiskeyGN]

Yea hot at around 2500 to 3000. When I'm at wot and almost to 6k it goes up almost to 80 psi.

Too much...

 

[buickruss]

the stock pump and good tight clearance should be all you need.

10-25 at idle hot in gear fully heat soaked.....and 60ish cold or WOT. spring dictates max psi.
These are the basic general ranges oil viscosity will generally dictate oil psi at idle....... thicker will give you a more idling.
Big thing is that it comes up with rpm 10 psi per thousand.

So I should put a lighter spring in then

 

[buickruss]

that would bring down psi at high rpsm. It wont change the pressure at idle

What color spring

 

[WhiskeyGN]

I wanna say yellow. I know its 60 psi spring in now

 

[kidglok]

are u running a high vol pump? booster plate?

 

[WhiskeyGN]

yes (both)
