You have to pick your poison here, but I will always choose lower oil pressure with no/low load over lower oil pressure under full load. Reassuring to see higher end sports cars with variable flow oil pumps doing the same; dropping pressure at throttle lift and no-to-light loads.

I would highly recommend any testing you do, be in a controlled environment, not on-track.
I thought that the biggest issue is more than they can only help so much, as in only as much as you can store in the accumulator. I would of thought that setting the min PSI for refill helps a lot with ensuring you don't bottom out the pressure.

How would one create a controlled environment? I'd hazard a guess that testing on track where you know the exact conditions to your issue exist, with careful monitoring might be the only practical was to test, but interested in your thoughts.
