Default b16 oil pressure

what is the average oil pressure that a b16 should be at? it's an b16a jdm block all stock with an a2 head with ctr cams. my autometer gauge shows it at 30psi after it's warmed up and idleing.

30 at idle doesnt seem that bad, how about when your driving? A lot of them around 60-80psi while driving
