What's your oil pressure numbers? What's what you'd consider normal?

Just thought we'd all collate the numbers and see what that rolling average is.
Odo is currently at 107k and change for some background. Running Rotella T6 5W40 with a Wix Filter.
Cold start - idle 700rpm, oil pressure about 29psi
Warm idle - about 19psi

Acceleration after warm, climbs to nearly 50psi.

I'm thinking this is what many would consider "normal." I come from the school of "10psi for every 1000 rpm is plenty," but that was usually SBC's and Ford gas engines. What say you?

Edit : Well... today was a little on the chilly side for around here - turns out cold idle pressure is actually 35psi and accelerating will build up to 70. Warm will eventually settle down to 19 at idle and up to 50 on acceleration though. I'd hazard a guess and say my oiling system and pump are probably still right where they're supposed to be.
