Well I finally got my oil pressure guage hooked up and now when I first start the car it idles at about 75psi and when I floor it (car still cold) it pegs the needle past 100psi. But when the car warms up it runs at about 35-40 at idle (sometimes it goes down to 25psi and WOT it reads about 55-60 psi. For people with the oil pressure guage hooked up, is this normal. I think the sending unit may be bad not sure though. Interesting to see how it changes all the time.

Later Yes, it is normal. My car has the exact same readings when cold and hot. Dion 98 SVT

Thanks for the reply. I plan on testing the long right hand turn thing, Just have to find a place to do it. I think that k-mart parking lot will work.  Later

I get the same readings.
When I take long right handers and jug handles, I try and look at the gauge, and it doesn't seem to flux any.

My car does about the same...
Last weekend I went to Buttonwillow race way and just my luck they were running the track backwards (counter clockwise) so I didn't have many right hand turns. But on some of right hand turns, I did see the need drop to about 18 briefly and then go back up to 50-60

If that's the case I'd have to guess that you'd be in dangerous territory with the stock pan. Eric

Eric,
What gage did you go with? Where did you put in on the dash?

Nah. I have a stock pan, that mirko pan is too rich for my blood. I'm waiting for Sho Shop to relase their baffle kit. Its supposed to come out this month I think?
