Oil PSI

Just wondering what's a good baseline for oil pressure at idle? My engine has 107K on it and the oil is solid at 30 psi at idle. I'm good, right?

30 at idle is very good for that mileage

These gauges are not exactly precision error free instuments. But 30 shouldnt be a problem. I read about 30 psi at idle and i have 94,500 miles.

Thanks guys. I was just wondering because of the top end package that's going on relatively soon. I did'nt want to blow up the engine right off the bat.
