Default 100 psi oil pressure on start-up

Engine is a 428 with roller rockers, morosso oil pump, running Valvoline VR1 engine oil.

Engine previously run on dyno only.

Mechanical Smith oil pressure gauge - on start-up gauge climbs to 100 psi in a matter of a few seconds.
Is this to be expected using VR-1?

Any ideas about the squeeks on the car from video below?
First start here- panicked when the gauge got to 100 psi oil pressure
(and ofcourse its a 7 litre, not an 8 litre, but I was still in a flap).
