So I have driven another 120 miles without issue and the temp has stayed
under 200. I am trying to adjust the valve is clockwise for more or less
pressure, I can't get it to go in (clockwise) any more than it was, but I can
loosen it more.

Subject: Re: [TR] 30 psi at 65 mph
One of the rules of thumb is 10 psi per 1000 RPM - so 20 psi at 2000
RPM, 30 psi at 3000 RPM, etc. 30 psi isn't great (I'd rather see 50)
but it's not awful either. If it starts dropping, THAT's a "shut it
down now" deal.
If you've got access to some tools, you may try screwing the oil
relief screw in a bit. This is a big screw / bolt with a locknut
sticking out of the oil filter head.
