That is significantly higher than the ~43psi @225F you measured. My car is completely stock except I am running 0W20 Millers Nanodrive Oil.
I know the oil cooler can knock around 14psi off the pressure at higher temps but 27psi difference 
Where are you measuring oil temp? Im using a ODB reader to get oil temp from the stock sensor. |
Think deloris has sold his frs, but from video he installed pressure sender at top of block and is using standard temp sender.
see thread and post below couple of other guys getting sumilar readings some with and without oil coolers
