What's your psi at idle? Mine runs 18-20# with VR1 10w30 when at operating temp. That's with stock front cover and new stock replacement pump properly set up.

Why 0W30?You need 0W30 on the next change.
Why 0W30?
Just an update, I switched to Brad Penn 10w-40. added 1/4 shim to yellow spring. Getting 19psi at 165 deg oil temp. goes to 65 when reving to 3500. This is with a mechanical gage. Ordered a new sending unit for autometer electric gage. Have not installed booster plate. Cold start I get 80psi at idle.

I'm guessing you meant a 1/4 OD washer, not a 1/4" thick shim?
Sounds like you need to remove the shim if you used a washer.
