Default zz3 oil pressure question

Does anyone have a zz1 to zz3 crate motor. I just bought an oil pump 12555284 which came with this motor, as a replacemnt for mine. Anyway can you tell me what oil pressure you get at an idle and on the freeway.

thanks

joe

My ZZ3 runs around 45-50 at idle and stays about 60 on the highway. Got about 18K on the motor. -Jeff

Jeez. you guys have a lot of pressure. I run a little less than 20 at hot idle and with any gas it's right around 40-50. I'm still good by gm specs (10psi per 1000 rpm).

Just under 20 at an idle is just fine (pretty much normal), thanks for the feedback.
