Oil Pressure too HIGH?

Oil Pressure too HIGH?
Is it possible? It's kind of a new occurrence. I normally ran 45-65 psi depending on RPM, but I was running nearly 80 psi at interstate cruising speed (~1750RPM). I know astronomically high oil pressure could be bad, but should I be worried about this? Especially since it just started.

Check the pressure with a mechanical gauge. If this happened suddenly and without other symptoms it is more likely to be a sender/wiring/grounding issue.
Also, have you changed your oil flter lately?

Not sure what brand sensor you went with during the swap, but from the Vette boards it seems the oil pressure sensors with the aluminum body don't last long and many guys have had multiple failures with them. One theory is at that over torquing them can cause early failure.
