I am just using the stock gauge on the dash. After these informative postings I observed more intently while varying rpm and cold vs. warm engine temps, and it looks like my idle pressure is probably more like 15 lbs. at idle. Not 5-10lbs. The highway speed pressure is pretty consistently at 44-45 range, and normal around town about 30 or so. I know I have crazy oil flow to my rockers because I have put rocker arms on with pushrod holes now. I was just paranoid about lower end lubrication because I have been fighting a continuous battle with destroying pushrod ends(long story) and I did not want other issues to develop to complicate things right now.
I think I am going to keep an eye on it for now and just run it.
