I had to replace the top radiator hose and I noticed there was a lot of pressure on the hoses. I bled the system well and there is no over heating. What kind of pressure is supposed to be on the coolent system and hoses? Is this normal? [driving]

When the car is hot there is quite a bit of pressure, however I do not know the specific psi measurements. Your cap is a pressurized closed system cap and should the pressures exceed that it will bleed off. Are you loosing coolant, if not I would not worry about it.
