The rule of thumb is 10 psi per 1,000 rpm...as at 4,000 rpm you should have in the neighborhood of 40 psi. The oil pressure should go up in relation to the rpms. I don't know what your problem is, but you'll gain some more by changing the pressure spring in the oil pump to a high pressure spring, available at http://www.precisionoilpumps.com/. You'll have to call him to order anything, his website doesn't list everything he sells. He's excellent to deal with.
