high oil pressure
???is that a bad thing.
i swapped my 5.3 for a ls1 yesterday. i reused the ls1's oil pump. i never payed too much attention to what the 5.3 oil pressure was but i know it wasnt anywhere near this high. its hitting the 3/4 (60psi i think) mark on my pressure guage at idle. when i romp on it it gets a little past 80 psi and when i let out it takes a while for the needle to settle back down.
is this normal or do i need to throw my 5.3 oil pump in? or is it something else
