The HV pump conducts enough oil, so I think it would be possible to go with a lower spring rate. |
You might find benefit in going to a thinner oil again, like 5W30.
You then might end up with 30-40psi at idle and still have 70psi as a max, although at a little higher rpms.
I wouldn't bother changing the spring to lower the maximum, it's fine at 70psi.
