    thats a good guideline but not always true.

    Oil pressure is obviously related to RPM so as the RPMs go up, pressure should increase, but you will reach a point where it wont climb anymore. The pump can only spin so fast, only has so big of a relief springs, etc etc etc.

    Usually as long as its 60psi+, your good. Ive seen H22s put out 90PSI before so there are differences.
