oil pressure

I actually have almost 40 psi of oil pressure at 4000 rpm. Everything looks fine. motor seems strong, will be going to a private test session next sunday. Book calls for 28 psi at 4000 rpm. I only have about 10 at idle.......when warm. When cold, I have about 20 psi at idle.....

running Royal Purple Racing 11 oil.

Karl, any input?

my cold motor does 80psi w/RP 10-40 at around 4000

40# at 4000 is about what i get when hot

i am NOT an oil expert, but yr #'s don't sound extreme.

That 28 psi @ 4,000 is a minimum spec.

I also get 40 psi WARM @ 4,000 w/ Mobil1 15w50.
