An oil pressure reading of 128 psi on a 2002 Corvette is unusually high, as typical oil pressure for this vehicle should generally range between 20 to 60 psi when the engine is at normal operating temperature. High oil pressure can indicate potential issues such as a clogged oil filter, faulty oil pressure sensor, or excessive oil viscosity. It's advisable to check the oil level and quality, and consider having the vehicle inspected by a professional mechanic to diagnose the issue accurately.
The normal oil pressure for a 1999 Corvette typically ranges between 40 to 60 psi when the engine is at operating temperature. At idle, you may see readings around 10 to 20 psi. It's essential to consult the owner's manual or a service guide for specific recommendations and to ensure your vehicle's oil pressure is within the appropriate range for optimal performance.
Oil level and oil pressure are different. You don't need to have full oil to get normal pressure.

Everyone has their own opinion of normal. Mine is that adding more than one quart between oil changes is not normal and should be investigated.
