When the oil is cold I usually see 40psi at idle. Even idling
for 10 minutes or so I will still see 20psi at 900rpms.
It just makes sense *NOT* to beat the hell out of the car when
you first start it up. Especially after installing cams. I
usually do the break in procedure I have heard others
say they don't.
I can say turbo cars love cold engines.
