Thanks!
I have digital oil pressure gage (and water temp ) installed. Cold 90psi , hot with 90F ambient around 78psi on track with ~240F oil temp.
When hot idle pressure only around 39psi.
The gage can store data but I never found a low pressure situation on track.
The oil pan seems to be very well engineered.
I verified that the dash F gage is a true oil temp gage and it is very accurate.
