Bumping this old thread, now that you have had this gauge installed for a while, have you ever recorded it, or captured it in frame, while you were driving on the track?

Since you are taking the pressure reading at the oil filter sandwich adapter I expect you are seeing it around 10-12 PSI higher than what I see, since I pick up the oil pressure at the stock oil pressure switch location at the front side of the right valve cover. Once I get the car good and warmed up on track, I see around 40-45 PSI there when I am at steady state driving with the oil around 210-220F. I am guessing that you see between 50-55 PSI unless you are at low revs? And in that case it is rising and falling. When the car is cold mine is pegged at around 60-65, hard to tell since the lines on the gauge are very close together at the top of the range.

If you have interior video footage that captures the gauge, I would love to see it.

Thanks!

Steve
