BB Oil pressure

I have a fresh 402 (less than a 1,000mi) pushing over 400HP. All parts are new or professionally rebuilt. Runs awesome but my oil pressure is a small concern. When cold the guage jumps up to 60lb and holds at any RPM. When warm (180 degrees) it is pushing 40lbs at 2500RPM and drops to between 15-20lbs when idleing. My friend has a fresh 396 in a Chevelle that produces similar pressure numbers. I am interested in how other BB motors in our trucks do in this area. Thanks for any help.
