Default FI oil pressure?

Just wondering what the average oil pressure is for a turbo 350z. Will it drop with all the new oil lines?

I have a built motor and APS TT and at idle (900 rpm) I have 35 lbs hot and
when running hard 70 lbs + hot. I have an ARC oil cooler that sits on top of the
bumper and run 15 - 50 Pennzoil Platinum. Temps here are in the 90s and
those figures are for this outside temp.

Built engine with race bearings, about 25psi idle (hot), 60-75psi at WOT, Anywhere from 60-90 on cold start up depending on ambient temp.

edit: forgot to mention I have been using 10w-40 castrol GTX for break in

Eek - I think mine's around 60 at idle, warm, using GC 0w-30, stock motor. Maybe I'll have to check again to be sure...

Stock motors are bound to see higher oil pressures then most of our built motors due to tighter clearances. However, 60psi at hot idle would still be higher then I would consider normal.
