i think "oil pressure" = "fuel pressure" in his first post. In that case, fuel injectors will stop functioning at that pressure due the extremely high duty cycle.

Heh hehe ... Seems to be a little confusion between PSI and Bar.

Anyway, 80psi for oil press at high rev is pretty normal but not 8bar!! which is 116psi. Normal oil press should be around 1.5 to 2 bar at idle and 4.5 to 5 bar a cruise and 6 to 6.5 bar at full blast. Assuming that the engine is at running temp and good condition.

Oil pressure depends on the condition of the engine, mods done, oil used, engine temp and yadda yadda.. for example, at start up in the morning you'll always get a higher pressure due to a cold engine and oil.

Hope this helps

Remember the Mclaren F1 road car? The supercar from the 90’s that dominated auto bahns and other major highways for over 10 years. It held the title of ‘The Worlds Fastest Car’ for equally as long and some still believe it is. It’s considered the ultimate drivers car even next to a Bugatti Veyron. It produces so much heat, it needs gold platting in the engine bay just to reflect the heat. No power steering, no ABS, no...
