Default oil pressure readings at WOT

I'm looking to compare oil pressure readings for a SC'd K20, especially at cold start and at WOT (the high end readings).

8th Civic crowd must not run oil pressure gauges or something, so I had to move from lurker to member here.

I look for around 10 psi per 1K rpm.

Sounds like a good guide, thanks. Anything over 100 psi at the extremes?

No meter yet at all - one guy said his K20 with JRSC got over 100 psi sometimes, but most oil pressure gauges are only to 100. I can get higher range gauge but somehow doubt I need to, and probably it would be a lot of wasted range and less precise. So just trying to see what others are getting on a similar setup.
