What idle speed? 750rpm?
Temp and engine speed are critical. As are oil viscosity.
Sounds good to me.

Ideally you want it to reach PRV pressure by 3000 rpm hot. So 90 psi. And hold that all the way.

it holds at 90psi when driving, only drops when stopping which i guess is to be expected?

Similar to my car 6.8bar cold starting, 2.8bar on tick over when warm.
