i live in florida..my car runs at 60 psi or so cold and a 35 psi or a below when warm.. Ive always used Mobile 1 syn 10w30 since i owned the car (3yrs).When it is real hot i have infamous ticking sound..Is it ok to use 10w-40 syn catrol ? do u think this would help with noise and oil pressure??>My car has about 49000 miles, stock except for loudmouth exhaust and K@N filter........

my stock oil pump took a dump. It was showing about 21psi idle hot, and 54 at redline (6500 ls6). I had it replaced with a brand new, ported pump and I'm getting 52psi idle and over 80 at WOT (pegging analog guage and showing 83 on the digital).
can you have too much psi?? oil is redline 1030 and filter is a k&n

ok, so what's "too much"? this is on a basically stock LS6 block with around 23K miles on it.
