John,
My oil pressure tends to run about 50 lbs at 3500 and 60-65 at higher power settings, even when warm.  That is a 2nd generation.  I believe that your 3rd generation has a higher regulator, so it should be higher than that.
 
BTW - I'm running 5W30 Mobile1

I've noticed lower oil pressures lately. Between 30 and 40 at 3500 rpm or so when hot. 
I need to double check the calibration, but was wondering what people consider normal.
