Oil pressure rises with rpm

Oil pressure cold on idle about 60PSI. When oil warms up it drops to about 50PSI. All this seams normal. However, the pressure will rise all the way to over 90 when the rpms increase, cold or hot.

I used Liqui Moly oil flush when I first got it from the auction and replaced oil filter and added Shell Rotella T6 15W-40. Got about 1000 miles on it.

Should I be worried?

The factory gauges are notoriously inaccurate, if you are concerned put a mechanical gauge in place of the sending unit on the back of the motor.
It would be rather unusual to have 90 PSI of oil pressure, it is however normal for it to change with RPM.
