80lbs/in is pretty good at cold idle.
Even though the hot idle pressure is important, I personally look for a
healthy reading at higher rpm's. What does yours read on the freeway when
hot? If its in the 40-50lbs range, its probably OK. It can vary that much
due to overall condition of the engine and the oil pump, or the specific kind
of pressure relief valve used (eg. early Series V vs. later V, etc,)
