Default Oil pressure? Need help guys

So I recently bought a 02 Z with 34k on it never looked at oil pressure but I finally found it on the dash and I just wanna make sure the numbers sound right to you guys..

Cold start 44-48 psi
Operating temp -38-40 psi
Wot- I've seen high as 68-70
Do these numbers seem normal to you guys ? Thanks in advance

Also depends on what kind of oil pump is installed - Factory or aftermarket High Pressure. Those numbers are good numbers.
