7 psi with hot oil, on a hot day, at idle is about as low as you'd want to go. I'm more worried about the 21 psi at 3K. That still sounds a bit low. Again, I'm assuming hot oil.
I usually expect about 35-40 psi at 2K rpm with cold oil, dropping into the high 20's with hot oil. 21 psi at 3K sounds low, even with hot oil, and I'd worry for the life of your bearings. You could have a weak oil pressure bypass spring, that's keeping the oil pressure low.
