Hi Larry,
Your warm engine oil pressure at 2400 rpm should be 1.9 to 2.4 bar
(28-35 lbs).
I have raced my engine for some time and never found the need for higher
oil pressures (though there are plenty of mods elsewhere). If you want
you can fit a MG V8 pressure relief spring for an extra 20 or so pounds
but it won't do much and can cause problems.
