I don"t know beans from horse apples when it comes to engineering specs., and all that, but have built (overhauled) several small block Chevys over the years.
As a matter of habit, I always replace the oil pump. I"ve used both the standard version, and also the "high volume" models.
With both models, my experience has been, that with all new bearings, etc, idle rpm (I always considered 750 as an idle speed), oil pressure was typically around 20 psi, and operating rpm would typically yield around 40 psi, using 10w30 oil.
Not saying others are wrong, just relaying my experiences.
