Oil Pressure Reading

Just a general question. What is the propper reading for a LS1 Oil idjit guage to read?? Mines at 60 psi cold, jumps up to max as I give it gas. When it warms up it reads around 60ish. I seam to think it was around 40ish before?? I changed my oil and filter and it still reads high. If its the sending unit ok but Id still like to know what everyone else guage is reading. Thanks
