Back in my hot rodding days in the late 60s, we went through a spell where oil pressure constituted bragging rights.
We would install HP (high capacity oil pumps with heavy duty and or stretched springs, 40W oil, etc. to have higher oil pressure than the other guys.
Friend of mine did such things to his 409/425 that he had in a 57 Bel Aire but he went too far. He had simply removed the relief spring and replaced it with a nail. I believe he was using straight 30W oil.

Before he could shut it down, the oil filter bolt that he had welded to allow the use of a deeper 409 truck oil filter canister broke and the canister blew down through the snow pack embedding itself a quarter inch or so into the asphalt.
