I've never heard of people wanting to take a loss of HP with minimal benefits and extra stress on the pump (especially since the OP just had an oil pump seize on him 
). Seen cases of the o-rings being blown out on oil filters when pressure gets to high, and on the sbc's, the oil galley plugs being blown out. You only need enough volume/pressure to maintain an adequate oil film
The melling 96 comes with a high pressure spring and a standard pressure spring. The standard pressure spring necessarily doesn't effect volume. My oil pressure gauge "pegs out" at 150psi, THAT is to high of oil pressure.

you need 10psi of oil pressure for every 1000 rpms your turning, so roughly 70 or 80 should be tops, and FWIW ive seen oil filters burst, as in pop and spew....
