    I have a 302/347 stroker and it runs 70 to 75 of pressure. I was also concerned about mine .

    Did you use a high pressure pump or put a different spring in the oil pump? That would account for the high pressure. Normally, you could expect a higher oil pressure at start up (like 60-70 lbs.), but I have never run more than 55 lbs. cruising down the road.
