Normal oil pressure

After someone I know brought it up, I've been kind of wondering what is normal oil pressure for these motors.

Based on logs from HP tuners, it looks as if I only get about 50 lbs of oil (hot) pressure at 6k rpm.
At idle I'm around 37.

back in the day the rule of thumb was 10 lbs of oil pressure per 1k rpm.
Engines these days are using much thinner oils than they previous.

Should I be concerned?
