SBC Oil Pressure

With my crate I just put in, What OP should I expect at cold, idle, and running?

Its a 5.7l V8 Gm 350 with Edelbrock 1406 Carb and Edelbrock preformer intake.


Thanks

My 350 (which is MILDLY built) operates around 55-60 psi during acceleration. Idle is about 35-40 psi. Deceleration is around 45-50 psi.

The 305 in my 84 has around 35-40 pounds at hot idle and 45-50 pounds off idle.

Minimum is 10 psi for every 1000 rpm, but most run a lot more than that. Even the TIRED 350 in my Burb has around 40 psi at a hot idle.

Mine is the exact same, it scared me at first because my 4.3 never got above 35.
My friend who is a sbc expert said to expect that as well.

Thanks for the input!
