anyone else in here running 72psi oil pressure on idle also when ever i go around right hand corners at speed or sharply the oil pressure goes down depending on how sharp it is sometimes it can go down to about 15

I have 70 on idle, but only until it warms up and drops to 30 or so, rule of thumb is 10psi for every 1000 revs.
This was discussed HERE last week.

Sounds like you have -: 1)low oil b)poor sump design c)poor pick up deisgn d) an oil pump on the way out.

Only 1) is easy. All the rest are annoying.

Pickup pipe has tightened itself and came "up" away from the bottom of the sump. RH corner pressure loss is a classic sign.

the oil level is just up over safea little bit extra the oil pressure doesnt go down in between cold and hot it is always up there and it only goes up to about 80 psi maxi at about 5000rpm
