Default FE aluminum block oil pressure

Took the cobra out again yesterday and warmed to operating temp. Oil pressure response quickly with any increase in rpm's. 35 to 40 lbs at 2,000 rpm, 45 to 50 quickly at 3,000 + and 60 lbs to 70 at 4500 and up.
Keith Craft explained this was typical for his aluminum block builds. If there are any issues he will take care of it. I have every confidence in Keith. I have had two other engines he built with no problems and very good performance.
Also, two friends he has built engines for with the same good reviews.
Thanks for all the information. Very impressive the wide variety of advice available on club cobra. Much appreciated.
Coach Mike
