The 120 PSI stress he mentioned is the oil pressure on cold startup. Because the oil pump is driven off the distributor the high volume/high pressure oil pumps add to the stress/wear of the distributor gears.
Many people have gone back to the standard oil pumps that run at lower pressure/volume to relieve some of the stress.
