I'm building mine for similar duty, hope to run into you one of these days once she's finished!
3" main, 4" stroke. The idle oil pressure was down 5-7 lbs over hot idle after the run. Shut it down back in the paddock and let it cool down and it was no big deal. Pressure was back to normal. Then I drove it home 3.5 hrs. No issues. Just seemed like it got warm and thin.
