When you first start the car cold 60-90spi is normal. It will drastically drop as it warms. I am guessing you are talking about the first start up in the morning.

No offense taken. Has anything changed since this oil pressure problem? Have you been blowing smoke? A clogged drain line can cause abnormal oil pressure or a change in oil viscosity. The more you explain the more we can help. Any hard runs since the OP change? We're all on the same team, lol.

Did you just add or get your oil changed. If not then my "not" expert opinion would be a clog or something with oil feed. Im sure Ted can resolve that tho.

I havent noticed anything like that if you are wondering with us fellow APS guys. Any check engine lights? Don't romp on it tho we need to stay alive as long as possible.

What about this Wedsday...my only day off from work. Maybe we'll get some decent weather like today. U thinking a daytime vid right? I have a decent Vid Camera also. I need me a 100 oct tune also!
I know some farm roads that are nice, straight, smooth and have no roads turning onto them for miles. Just took my car up to 150 mph on it.
