Oil pressure - fitting oil coolers

Please put up your readings here

Im fitting a oil cooler kit and i got a oil temp guage now and waiting on a pressure gauge to arrive, just wondering what pressures i should be seeing at high RPM and what is conciderd too low or too hi? and does a cooler make the pressures drop, as ive heard some mixed storeys, i know in theory it shouldn't but theory is not always right.

My oil temp guage has a preset warning of 118 oc
also got a water temp gauge with preset warning of 98oc
all 3 guages link together so i only needed to wire in 1 set or power and ground :) pic will follow next week sometime :p

lets hope i can prevent another head gasket going now lol

there easy to get hold of mate just quite pricy, dont forget you need the buy the controle box for them to work. fitting it just a case of hiding the wires. there all block connected so very easy
