    Hmmm, i noticed that too. i have noticed in the last couple days, that it kinda stays at about the 3/4 mark, then when i put it in neutral it goes down to about half way? should it be lower? should it be bouncing around that much?

    I wouldn't worry much dude...your oil pump is driven off the crank shaft. at idle it doesn't turn fast enough to generate high pressure, but a little ways into your rpm band, (about 3/4's the way up)the oil pressure relief valve kicks in to keep it at that steady safe pressure.
    if you ever want to raise your redline, it is a good idea to use a different better oil pump, or to shim that pressure relief valve (the spring that is) to all allow your engine to generate higher pressures. you do pay penalties for this though.
