    Anothere oil question,,,

    I have a 440, stock bore with a cam, dual quads and headers. It also has a Melling HV/HP oil pump and pegs the gauge when the engine is started. The previous owner used Valvoline VR1 10-30 AND added a can of ZDDP. I am considering VR1 in 20-50, Can you have too much oil pressure?
