Rick,
I have a 351 stroked to 416 and I run lower oil pressure than most and have had no problem since I had the engine built in 1996. When cold it is about 50 pounds. On a 118 degree Summer day it will run around 40-45 pounds at 3,000 RPM and around 28-35 pounds at idle depending on how long I have been running hard. I am running a remote filter and oil cooler also. I have changed oil after just one run several times to check for any suspicious stuff in it while it was nice and clean and have never found anything. Used a magnet and very fine mesh nylon screen to pour the oil through. So now I don't do this and I don't change oil after every drive. I have also tested with a remote gauge hooked right into the sender and it reads the same.
