My experience here was as follows. About 50,000 miles and 25 years after a 
complete and successful rebuild I began to notice that after a longish blast 
at 3000+ rpm down a french autoroute on a warm day, on leaving the autoroute 
and going to normal road driving the oil pressure at 2000 would be perhaps 
30-40.  After perhaps a half hour the pressure would recover to it's normal 
60-70.. Gave much thought to an oil cooler but changed the big end bearings 
first. Since then and another 20,000 miles on, I have seen my 70psi under 
all conditions. I use 20-50 oil from a reputable maker depending on special 
offers.
Of course YMMV!
