I will follow up Randall's comment with a couple questions, what weight of oil are you running? was it hot outside? car fully warmed up. I don't think the numbers sound bad, 2000 rpm is still spinning pretty slow, if it stills goes up to about 60 psi or a little more at 2500 to 3000 that would be in the ballpark. My brother's TR3 and my TR4a both ran about 60 psi hot on a fresh rebuild at highway speeds (2500 rpm or a little more in O/D).

So I don't disagree with Randall, it may be slightly low, but doesn't seem too far off to me.
