DO IT!

Personally I have Never ever had a motor smoke due to high oil pressure!.

Every engine I build uses the 13B-REW rear regulator. I do MANY T2 based engines for various customers.

The higher oil pressure is a must in anything really if you want to bearings to live, especially when you are making an honest 450bhp. Any decent motor even stock ported will see 8000rpm all day long (most see 8500rpm) and when you combine this with 500bhp, let alone more power! you will find out the hard way why this level of oil pressure is needed.

Oil pump wear is never a problem, though you do loose some power running higher oil pressure, which is nothing compared to how much you will be making when you are justifying running the higher pressure anyway.

DO IT!
