My N14 C+ sits at about 45 psi tops when the engine is cold at idle and at about 18 when the engine is hot at idle. Now at about 1300-1400 rpms in 18th gear sits at 25-30 but closer to 25psi. I heard of another guy here locally that was getting 8psi yeah 8 at idle when hot, and that truck is still running.
