Around 75-80psi with Redline 10w40, but it's not there for long before I shift.
Normal pressure at cruising (3250-3500rpm) is 55psi or so with the same oil.
Mobil1 reads lower, I don't know what dino oil does.

Stick with 100psi. Not only will you not exceed the range, but at normal
cruising pressures, the needle will be in the middle of the gauge, have the
largest useful range (sweep) across the gauge, and tend to be more accurate
since the range of measurements is smaller.
