How can i improve my oil pressure in my 360 magnum

Hey all
I have a small block magnum that has had bad oil pressure for years. I put in a mellings high volume oil pump a couple of years ago but it didn't help. If I run fully synthetic engine oil I have around 10 PSI at idle. It does go up as the RPM goes up and I stripped the engine down in the past and the bearings haven't been worn badly but I'm rebuilding it soon and will be spinning it higher than normal so i thought while its out I'll try and improve the pressure.
Any mods that help?

There are no mods to increase oil pressure. There is a standard and hi volume oil pump. That’s it.

Otherwise, the way to normal or higher pressures are tighter clearances. If your current engine hasn’t been previously rebuilt, then it is worn out with high clearances.

Mellings uses the 72 psi spring in all of their oil pumps... I called them once and they told me that...

MP uses a 55 psi spring typically and you can buy the high pressure spring kit to put the 75 psi spring in...

Changing the Mellings to the MP high pressure spring is not worth the effort to gain only 3 more psi... :realcrazy: :BangHead:
