While 60psi is a bit high, it should be at least that if the engine fan is not running at high speed. 40 psi is optimal when everything is 'normal', but we are talking about a reasonably warm system which will push the pressure up.

I have seen my car over 300 psi after parking it and playing in the engine compartment a half hour later - without the engine running. I had fan relay problems so it wouldn't cool at slow speeds.
