I just rebuilt the 1360, oil pump is a new MiniSpares Sureflow.. With cheapo 20W/50 Valvoline SF oil for run in- 80psi cold, 75psi hot, 60-70psi idle hot. Note it has a 9/16" ball relief valve, this keeps the idle pressure up as it can actually seal, unlike the POS standard valve. 
And this is without the oil cooler.. I'll refit it before track days though.
