Default What oil presure on your 454 Mag EFI?

I am wondering what oil pressure other 454 Mag EFI 385hp owners are seeing on their engines. Mine is 40 - 41 at anything above idle and 20 at idle 600 rpm. The manual says at 2000 rpm and above 30 - 70 is normal and not less than 4 at idle. I am just wondering if my numbers are normal or on the low side compared to others. Thanks!

When I had my 454 Mag MPI motor, I had just about the same pressures you are seeing. I would say that you are fine.

I am 60 psi when running and 25 at idle, right after a hard run. After it cools back down will idle at 40psi.

My stock 454s were about the same as Paytons. Your's don't sound out of the ordinary
