If the car was cold, yes, those are normals numbers. Just another reason not to drive the car hard when it is cold :) When it is warm, usually ~65 PSI at WOT for me.

When I first start my car in the morning the oil pressure reads about 65 psi. As the car warms up it goes down. After the car has hit normal operating temperature the oil pressure is about 25 psi during idle, 50-60 psi under normal acceleration, and about 75 psi under WOT. Thats how mine reads, and I never get on the gas hard untill that oil pressure gauge reads 25 psi under idle.

A.D.P. project's 001 AND 002 both read just as you described. after the oil fihter, you shouldn't see anything higher than like 80 psi.

Naw I am not at UNF anymore, I moved back to Tampa. I didn't know what I wanted to do with my life and I was just wastin money at college so I moved back in with my parents and I am taking classes in Tampa to get ASE certified. But I still have my girl friend and all my buddies from college that I always visit. I try to make it up there about every other weekend but shit has been hard to get off of work.
