acceptable hot idle oil pressure for 5.7 Vortec?

[strad]

I'm running 10W30 in it. Idle pressure according to cluster gauge is about 22 psi hot. This engine has 121k miles on it, original oiling system as far as I know, although the pan gasket has been replaced according to records. Is that an acceptable oil pressure?

edit: maybe I should clarify. It runs one line above the first big line which I think is 20 (the big line is 20). It's a bit over 40 hot when the engine is spinning at pretty much any driving rpm.

20psi hot idle is fine,mine idles about 25psi hot and goes to 55-60 psi at road speed.

id say its alright as long as its not like low low pressure and it goes up then down when u accelerate

 

[Ceejkay]

if i recall correctly its supposed to be more than 10psi per 1k rpm.

is it okay for it to be at 40 constant?

Minimum: 6 psi @ 1000 RPM; 18 psi @ 2000 RPM; 24 psi @ 4000 RPM.

my new engine goes down to 22 when hot and my old engine did too

Cool. Just didn't have any idea what I should see on the truck. It does run 40 or more from 1500 rpms up, so it was just the idle pressure I was wondering about.
