What kind of oil pressure do you all have?? My mods are in my sig.. When I start the car up it idles at 60-65psi.. When I drive it around it is around 70psi and at W/O throttle its at 80-85psi.. Now the thing I am noticing is that when I drive around and come to a light, with the car sitting idleing at operating temp my oil pressure falls to 45-50psi.. I give it a little gas and it goes to 60-65psi but when the Rpms drop back down to 800rpms it goes back to 45-50 psi.. Is it that I am thinking about my motor being messed up to much, because 50psi is still good oil pressure at a idle or is there something wrong with this picture cause on my stock motor it never went below 60 psi.. I do have a pretty big cam and also a oil pressure booster washer.. [img]graemlins/popcorn.gif[/img]

45-50 psi at a warm idle is nothing to be alarmed about. As long as the pressure goes up as soon as the revs start to climb you shouldn't have any trouble.
