40 psi on start up
20 psi on idle once fully warm
about 30 - 35 psi driving at about 1.5k rpm once fully warm
40 - 45 psi when giving it stick and fully warm.
About right or a bit low
(ps it is on a Tim electric gauge so not sure how accurate these are)
Engine is 102k miles stage 1. Never been rebuilt.

is a bit low on higher revs by the sound of it...
20 psi is a bit low on idle too.
check with another gauge to rule that out but if its the same, it means the engine is stating to wear i think.

Cheers chaps. Sounds like its a bit low at warm idle then. It may be that the gauge is crap.
Does this sound like rebuild time if the figures are correct?
