If you build your motors with ~.002-.0025" bearing clearance like I do my big blocks and use 20-50 oil,80 psi cold is about normal.
I always make sure that I throughly warm the oil before I rev it. Although I have never done it it's probably possible to blow out the oil filter gasket or o-ring if you rev it cold.
