Seriously, if you have a dry sump, it sounds normal for me in the winter, I see those lower temps all the time. It's been beaten around a lot on the forum too, search and you will see various posts by myself and others about it.
If you post your model year, type of engine (LS3, LS7, etc.), miles on the vehicle, if it is Z51, auto/manual, dry sump or wet sump, then we can tell you more "normal" parameters.

When the oil is in the 100- 120 range, it will peg the needle (80 psi) and when I look at the DIC for oil pressure, it will be in the mid 80's.
Been that way for over 40k miles now.
