down at the filter the lowest i read is 16psi at idle but on my gauge its 100% based on RPM, there relative, as RPM's increase so does the pressure, before oil is at operating temp (about 180*) i can get pressure readings well into the 100's, its good for the track though cause if it was to suddenly drop i would immediately notice

There is spring loaded thingy in the head that dumps oil if the pressure is too high. I guess Mitsu doesn't want a lot of oil pressure in the head.
