10 is about what the dash gauge shows.
I would love to see 20 at a hot idle and 50 down the road.
If I could go back and do it over easily I would use the non squirt bearings on all but the rear one, and just squirt cylinders 7 and 8
This would benefit the hot cylinders and get some oil pressure up.
Even just dropping the squirt from the front 2 would help.
Those 8 big leaks really lose a lot of oil.
