Anything below 25 hot at idle would a concern to me, other than that it varies between the how old your oil is and other factors. But normally around 40 psi.

+1, also some owners report as high as 45psi at or near redline WOT. I've never looked at my psi at that moment.
And CalgaryZL1, does your neighbor offer or create any other designs for sale?

Sorry Ventmaster I didn’t see your question earlier, no he doesn’t sell decals it is just a hobby of his. But i could ask if there is something specifically you would like, I guess it can’t hurt to ask.

These are some of the ones he’s done for my car
