I don't have a 'real' gauge but my dash gauge shows the same pressure now with twins than before without them...

Are you seeing a difference, or abnormally high or low readings with your twins?

the real gage vs the dash gage are the same at 40# at hot idle dash reads 35# real gage 20# I switched to 5w40 when I installed the twins and the dash gage dropped 10# I don't care about cold as 65# is the most these motors can make do to the bypass.the pressure go up as soon as the rpm increases.so Im just wondring how much volume Ive lost.
