Steve, I don't know if you've tried this yet on any of your dyno runs, but the
rockers will actually lock up at lower oil pressure too. With just a slight
blip of the throttle at idle, they'll lock up and switch over. When testing I
had them on the big lobe all the time and it would actually stay on the larger
cam, even at idle. It was loping like a crazy cammed V8. =) Still wish I had
a sound clip of it, it's pretty funny, especially on a "family sedan."

My point was that 65-75psi is not too high. Lots of engines have more then
the 10psi per 1000rpms rule. That is more of a minumum.
