Just going off of what you said. You don't even need a permanent oil pressure gauge. I simply meant hook one up so you can assess the pressure under given conditions. If you want to go braided, go for it. I'm sure your oil is contributing to your higher pressure reading but I'm not sure if you should be running thinner stuff, you built it. I'm not sure why you want thinner either with your wasting power/generating heat comment followed by not chasing power. I'd wonder what the oil temp actually is? I should probably listen instead of speak here as I'm sure you researched the hell out of this topic. I know there are positives to thinner oil but is it correct for your application?
