Oil pressure @ idle

Just curious... what is the oil pressure in your C6 at idle, after the motor has reached operating temp? mine hovers around 28-30... then around 40 at highway speeds, in 6th gear @ 2000rpm.

I run around the same with a Maggie, cam, and headers.....I was told that is within the operating limits of the car.....I'm sure some other people will chime in soon,
