My car since new has always shown between 20-22 psi at idle when oil is fully warmed to at least 165*. Somewhere in the GM service manual I believe it stats what the oil pressure should be and that number falls with in the recommended range.
it is so strange because i read others with bone stock who are 25-28 at idle and never below. I guess oil could make a difference but i only have the dealer change it and have used mobil 1 5w30 since day 1.
just seems odd that the pressures would vary that much motor to motor
my apologies but i think you are asking about rpm?
600 rpm at idle
While there is no problem with a 600 rpm idle, for comparative purposes I believe you'll find most are idling at a little higher rpm yielding slightly higher oil pressure

Thank you.
I just made an assumption that a stock LS7 from the factory would be the same across the board but what you state would make sense for the difference
And although I doubt this makes one bit of difference - this is a 427 vert - not a Z06.
