Your not that far off. The good news is it living. And obviously there is some wiggle room in there, especially since most guys no longer use a 50 grade oil any more. You have less pressure but you are still getting flow. You may be able to back it down a bit more. The question then becomes how much power are you saving to drop another 5 pounds?

When I was testing some of my junk we started back the oil pressure down and lost power. At 8500 I was at 100 PSI. At 80 we lost a pretty big amount of power. I forget the number but 45-50 HP is what I remember. We finally traced it to bushed rockers and the rockers were grabbing the shafts.


Just because you think it won't make it true. Horsepower is KING. To dispute this is stupid. C. Alston
