Mine runs 35-40# idle ---- 55-60# at 2100 rpms, warm
-
Rule of thumb- 10#'s for every 1000 rpm -- under this = not good

Ask him what type of oil he has in it also. If it's Mobil 1 or some other true synthetic, they will generally have lower oil pressure b/c it's a thinner oil. When I use to run Mobil one in my TTA, when hot and in park idling the car would have about 25-30psi.
