I get (or should I say got ) 60 psi on start up from cold, then mid 30's at idle when warm, and about 55psi at 3000 rpm......

Anywhere from 50 to 70psi at cold start at idle!

When its hot anywhere from 25psi to 35psi is fine depending on grade of oil and spec of engine.

At 3000rpm with hot oil you should have a minimum of 50psi.

On my old engine at idle hot/cold...

Castrol RS: 30/65psi
Mobil1: 20/63psi

Please note that i might be something fishy about the Mobil oil i used. Will let you know if I find out more.
