I think it might be helpful to new owners and all on here to have a few figures to check.
I am thinking about oil pressure, water temperature, fuel pressure, oil temperature and any that others think would be useful.

I will check mine tomorrow and list them and we can end up with a guide if others do the same.

Oil Pressure - tick-over cold, tick-over warm, say 4000rpm cold and warm
Water temp normal
Water temp when fans kick in.
Fuel pressure.
Oil temp when warm (if you measure it)
Tyre pressures
Damper settings

These will give new owners a guide.

Once we have a good number of replies then perhaps we can add it to the Stickies

Good idea Dom.

Please give a few basic specs of you car.

Engine type and size
Approx Hp (helps identify how heavily modified)
Injected or Carb.

Right, my figures.

Engine - LS7 Standard with GM ECU
Alloy rad.

Oil pressure - Tick-over Cold 70psi, Hot 36psi
4000rpm hot 70psi
Water temp 4000rpm hot 80degC - fans on 90degC controlled by ECU and measured at engine (not rad)
Fuel pressure 65psi
Oil temp not measured but I have an oil-over-water oil cooler.
Tyre pressure 18 front and 22 rear
Dampers 6 clicks from softest all round bump and rebound (14 clicks total)

These are my first settings after the rebuild. I expect to change the tyre and damper settings with fine tuning as time goes by. I will update in a month or two.
