I'm working to get my 66 Mustang back on the road after a lot of work this winter. I did a T5 swap along with a cowl replacement and a lot of structural repair and enhancement. I took the opportunity to add a mechanical oil pressure guage to get a better handle on what was happening on the engine front and that is the source of my question.

I am seeing 25-30 psi of oil pressure at idle when up to temp which seems fine but I am not getting any significant rise as rpms increase. Should I be concerned?


details: I did a recent oil change with 20w-50 VR1 and a WIX filter.
