Good steady flow and no cavitation far more important than pressure. (Most apps...nitro fueled engines have more obstacles to overcome).
The old 10 psi per 1000 rpm "rule" might apply at sub 4000 rpm but if you have very good flow with no sonic waves from cavitation the bearings stay lubed and cool.
Iirc Titan websitehas a good explanation of what cavitation does.
Luhn has done their homework with their pump pickup design and improvements to the Melling pump. IMO if you've been doing ok with stockish internal pump this should be a worthwhile improvement. Next step would be an external pump with a good pickup design like Luhn's. Dry sump being the ultimate.
