|  Actually that is pretty darn good considering the miles on the car and the weight of the oil you are using. I wouldn't worry about it. Regular oil changes is the best maintainance you can do for a car. ------------------ '82 GT 351W C-4,BBK headers,Carter 625 carb,Comp.Cam,Flowmaster exhaust. 1988 GT...T-5,bone stock |

| I agree that is pretty decent pressure for the weigh poil and how many miles you have. I think they say 30lbs at idles with 5w30 is good for the low. I ran a High Volume and had 80psi at idle, over 100psi cruising, and after it got warm I had 70-73psi at idle. I took that thing out and put a stock pump back in I now have 75 at cold and around 45-50 at warm idle, and around 60-65 while crusing, all with 5w30 Castrol. ------------------ Check Out My Site 91GT,Holley SysteMAX II Kit-Heads 2.02" x 1.60" port matched to a 1262,Anderson N-61,24#,76mm C&L,Full MAC exhaust 1-5/8" Long tubes,2-1/2" O.R H-Pipe,2 1/2" cat back, No A/C or PS or emissions, 12" K&N Filter,RNH PERFORMANCE Ram Air,Ron Davis Radiator,Full Suspension,S&W 8pt "X" brace,JAZ seats,3:73's,Welds..etc,4:30's and 31 splines coming very soon! |
