Start up pressure idle is ` 50 ish
Hot idle is 25 ish
Hot running is 39 ish
This is on a 415 inch built motor so it isn't going to be like stock.

Melting Slicks
This is my first experience with a ls type motor...my old big block idles at 40 and runs at 60 hot
My LS 3 is in line with the previous posters...yes it startled me a bit when i first noticed the pressures...lower than what I was used to seeing ..but this is what they designed the motors to have and it seems to be very effecient....so dont let the lower pressures fool you...its normal
