Default Oil pressure readings

Just installed an eletrical oil pressure gauge. I currently don't remember what the cold start pressure reading is but it was high around 80psi

Warm idle - 30psi
1800rpm - 80psi
2200rpm - 90 psi
3000-4000 rpm - stays at 90 psi
4000rpm+ - from here very slowly climbs up but havent got a chance to go above 4500rpm yet.

So as you can see, from idle when i start to accelerate, barely touching the throttle the pressure reading spikes up to 80psi at 1800rpm. It reaches 90 psi before 2500rpm and stays there for awhile. Is this a normal reading?

It is a prosport gauge. Just seems kind of weird that pressure goes from 30-80psi in about 1000 rpm.
