Default How are these oil pressure numbers?

I am collecting parts for my motor build, and I have a question. First here are my numbers:

All numbers are from a Autometer gauge
All numbers are on a completely stock motor
The motor had 10W30 when the numbers were taken
The block has 140K on it.

Cold idle = 50PSI
Warm Idle = 20PSI
When I give it gas it climbs very well, about 10psi for every 1000rpm.

Now, I have read on the net that my numbers are ok, especially if the pressure rises with the rpm.

Are these numbers ok for a supercharged car? I will be pushing 350-400rwhp.
