It is low but not by a lot... the question how much lower does it fall if you raise the temp of the oil to 250-280F? Daily driven it's nothing to worry about but on track it could be or get to be too low.

You may consider running an 0w-30 or 5w-30 on track (like is suggested in your owners manual)

OR

Put a spring-shim in the oil pump to bring back up the oil pressure. I have an oil cooler on my race car and I have my oil pump shimmed to bring the pressures back up so I don't have to run thicker-than-necessary oil.
