1600 X flow

I have 20lbs at 1000RPM idle warm and 60lbs at 3000 RPM warm….Does that sound correct?

More than enough.

My crossflow only runs at about 7 psi idle (warm) and 30psi at 3k. (though these are taken from the stock caterham guage which is inherently faulty)

That's reassuring! Thanks!

My #'s are identical to Dingo's. I mite see 40 lbs at high RPM's (6.5K redline). I am similarly skeptical of the oil pressure gauge's accuracy

10 psi per 1000 revs is good.
