Oil pressure minimum at 2,000 rpm (engine at normal operating temperature) 517 kPa (75 psi)

when i had my z28,the idle psi was about 18. so 75 seems real high. after getting the gauge installed im seeing 60-65 at idle and right at 75 by 2k rpm. guess im all good!!

I had a LS1 a couple years back & my pressure would never exceed 40 during normal operating temp. With that being said, 75 seems really high!
