Sounds exactly like what I had prior to my complete rebuild, which included a
new oil pump. Completely rebuilt, it is about 35 at idle, 52 when cruising.
The figures you are getting are fairly typical, and I ran mine that way for
about 13 years of very spirited driving with no problems.

Anyone know if I should be concerned with my readings?

25lb reading at idle
