Just installed the 4-gauge pack. Few questions..

My car hasn't been out for a few days, and it's been cold where I'm at.

The Volts and Oil Temp seem fine. However, at start up, the TRANS temp is reading 30 and the Oil Pressure is reading 70 psi.

Curious if this is normal?

That is also what I'm reading at start up for the oil PSI. What is your reading at operating temp at idle? I was surprised at the slow rate at which the oil temp raises.
What is worse, while I was changing my oil, I did the gauges. I thought I had put the filter in wrong as in off center, partially blocking the passage way.

Thanks guy. So what are some reads that aren't normal with the gauges?

Basically anything that isn't around the middle. The oil pressure will increase and decrease as you hit the gas.

oil pressure will go down after it warms up.
