 Hi everyone! I'm pretty new to the site but I've been lurking for a while. Have a question about oil pressure in a mildly modified 396(+.030) BBC. I'm reading about 80 PSI when starting cold and this goes up to ~90 when I hit the gas. After it warms up reads about 60 idling but goes back up to 80 under any load. My old Chilton says these engines should run around 30-60. Is my oil pressure too high and if so what should I do about it? 
 
 Thanks,
 
 Chris
