Element Tuning even added that disclaimer with - "Let me remind you 325 racing slicks and over 1000 lbs of downforce"

I believe somewhere in those threads there is a plot for the temp/pressure correlation. It's possible to reach these temps without tracking.
Also if you follow that thread you will see they found no good evidence that gload has anything to do with the pressure drops. So that throws that disclaimer out the door. That thread really has to be read from start to finish because it was created as they were still developing a fix. They tried different OEM pumps, aftermarket pumps, baffles, acusumps and on and on. The fix comes as a modification to the block.
