after it was good and warm, this was the pressure at idle after 2 miles or so. For some reason seemed a bit low to me but i havent been paying close attention to the gauge lately. Just looking for some feedback! thanks.

Normal, mine used to be around 18-20 hot. some LS3 engines run low if they are loose from the factory with that light oil.

That's where mine sits when hot also. Nothing to worry about, these gauges are not that accurate anyways.
