NO real EZ way to lower pressure on an A engine(like on a B-engine) ... but the benefits are not only saved HP on running the pump less ... but also less oil flying around hitting the crank and rods PLUS less oil on the cyl walls.
For the type of driving it wounds like this vehicle will be doing he will NEVER notice any difference.
His type of driving ? .. it is a race car. Now if he does not care about his ET ... I will stand corrected.
He states this: "I get an occasional
6000 run, but not much above that often, and not
for extended time."
So go figure. that kind of pressures he won't make a noticeable difference. People are racing and driving with that kind of pressure all the time. In the real world there are a lot more variables that will come into play that will change things a heck of lot sooner than that. Including driving consistancy.
On a good warm day you will be glad that you have a little extra to work with. that pressure will take care of itself and is not excessive to the point of being harmful. Nor will the pressures in this case contribute to a gasket or filter blowing out if quality parts and careful assembly proceedures have been used.

Cool, there we have it. THanks. Quote:
If your lifters were not bleeding down your engine would not run or it would be missing do to valves being held open.
This from the Rhoads sight: Q. Can a high volume or high-pressure oil pump be used with Rhoads Lifters?
A. Yes. As the bleed off is a function of rpm a high volume/pressure pump can be used without any problem at all.

while the numbers sound a tad higher than normal, I wouldn't be concerned. high oil pressure when cold and having to wait till it warms up to beat on it?
You should wait for it to fully warm up anyway before beating on it. cold parts fit looser than warm parts, and beating on a cold engine might be bad for the piston skirts.
I like to wait until my oil pressures start to drop, indicating that the oil is warmed up and the rest of the engine is at operating temps...before I beat on it.
