On the oil pressure, one simple test would be to disconnect the by-pass oil filter connection at the fitting at the rear of the engine and block the outlet with a plug. See if that makes any difference in the oil pressure. Also, how are you measuring the oil pressure, stock gauge or an aftermarket gauge? I would connect an aftermarket gauge if you don't already have one and see what it reads. It would be easy to connect it where the oil filter connection is currently.

Anyone remember the old rule of thumb, I think it was something like 10 psi for each 10 mph?
