By the way, cooling your oil is not a function of oil pressure. It is a function of heat transfer rate and flow through the heat transfer unit. If you need to get better cooling either clean your oil cooler, relocate it for better air flow or get a better (larger) unit. Keep in mind that too much oil pressure can damage seals in the pump and elsewhere. A little higher than originally designed might not be a problem, but if you go a lot higher than the parts were designed for and you might have problems you didn't expect.
Have fun & be safe.
