High Oil Pressure Concerns After Mods

Hi all,

I have a 991 Turbo that I just installed a GMG exhaust and applied a Stage 2 Cobb Accessport tune. I just test drove it and under heavy throttle it continues to get almost all the way up to the oil pressure read line continually hitting 58psi. Is that bad? Is that normal? Should I be concerned about blowing a gasket somewhere potentially?

I like to take this car to DE events. I am concerned if i run it like that for 3hrs a day it could be very bad for my motor. Valid?

Thanks in advance for your input and opinions.

The car has a multiple stage oil pump that provides pressure based on demand, not just rpm. It's totally normal when the engine is under high throttle inputs and loads.

Not sure where your red line is. But I see 55 PSI all the time. And up to 70 PSI.
