Max Oil Pressure ???

I want to make my own bypass oil filtartion system. What is the maximum oil pressure that the Cummins can generate? Want to make sure that I get a filter strong enough (i.e. will not burst on me).

I don't think mine has ever been much over 50psi.

It's when the engine is stone cold and starts pumping that -40 15W40 through that you have high pressure
