What oil pressure is it at 3000RPM, 11 PSI at hot idle sounds alright, my 2054 is 20PSI at hot idle and 60PSI at 3000RPM.

Another few more factors that will affect the pressure are the bearing clearances,oil pump (HD 30mm gears or std),the length of the oil pressure
relief valve springs,ignition timing and the oil operating temperature.
