I just raised the idle and brought her out for a run. The idle was actually wanting to stay about 1100rpm when warmed up so I think I went a little too much. I was able to kick it down at a light to about 900. At 900RPM hot it was just below 20lbs. At 1100rpm it was about 20 or a little more. At 2000rpm it was just below 40lbs and at about 2200 she was at 40 even. Most pressure I saw hot was about 45lbs (even at about 5500 RPM).
I have hydraulic lifters, roller rockers and Edelbrock heads. I have not restricted
oil to the rockers. It was recommeded that I do this to raise the pressure.
Also I found out my pan has a 9 1/2 qt capacity. I think there is only 9 qts in it (put in by the dyno shop). I think I will drain the
oil, install the cooler lines and fill it back up.
What are your thoughts? Should I do something to affect the pressure and if so should I stop running the car immediately until I do so?
