Default Oil Pressure Question
I installed an ls6 oil pump and have unusually high oil pressure (at least I think so). For those that have either ls6 or ported ls6 pumps, what is your oil pressure? What are some of the causes of high oil pressure?

I am using 10w/30 oil. Have about 60 psi at idle and 70-75 at anything over 2500 rpm.
