My Melling Racing High volume pump (3/4" pickup) was getting me to 70psi at idle on the thinner break-in oil. With 20W50 Im seeing above 80 as well.

Its on the lower side of the block by the Oil Filter. Or its up behind the intake manifold. The sendor is like 4inches long you cant miss it. I bet thats your problem, mine went out and my pressure was that high.
