10W-30 acts like a 10 weight cold and a 30 weight hot. please explain your problem a bit more.
Does the oil presure drop off while running hard?
You say the oil pressure improves when you back off throttle and wait a few minutes? How long.
Do you have a temp gage on it? Is the engine getting hot and then cooling down significantly?
Does your oil gage have any numbers you can post?
Other than overheating or worn engine bearings or worn pump an old overhead valve engine can sometimes trap oil in the valve cover causing low oil pressure due to low oil level in the pan after hard running. The drain back holes in the head can sometimes get clogged if the motor is sludged up inside.
