All I could find from the manual is this. Might not be much help as the temps are so low but mid to low 30s is way off 73psi.

The spec you quote is not meant to imply that you *have* to have 73psi at 6000rpm, it only means that at the specified 176F oil temp the oil pressure should be 73psi at 6000 and if it's lower than that *at that oil temp* it means something might be up...
Are you seeing mid to low 30s at 6000rpm? What viscosity oil are you running?
Ultimately you only need enough oil pressure to keep the bearings fed. Hydrodynamic wedge is what really carries the loads. Could be that 30psi is sufficient. Any case, if you want to see higher pressures at track temps, maybe consider going to higher viscosity.
