Need some thoughts on oil pressure after Johnson 2110 install

just curious did your ever figure out the cause for the drop in pressure? I'm about to install these lifters and planned on running a stock (new) LS6 style pump and running standard Mobil 1 5w-30. Seems some people are having better luck with thicker oils when running the 2110s though. Just curious as to how the lifters are working out for you now.
Never did tear it back down to analyze any further. As warmer weather has began to set in 23psi is what the gauge shows at idle. Cruising rpms 1200-1500 it will show 32-36psi and as high as 60psi on WOT.
What I've accepted as the root cause for now is the smaller OD .8420" on the 2110's of vs. stock ls2 .8424". .0003" is alot of extra clearance on 16 bores.
The lifters are as quiet as the previous LS7's used on many builds in the past. You can't hear valvetrain noise for the FAST intake. It sounds like my old diesel Ford 3000 tractor.
As far as oil goes I'm running 10w30 Castrol Edge Syntec.
