I'm late to the party. Were these electric gauges? Wondering whether alternator is over charging and supplying more voltage which would make all gauges read high.

nope. both mechanical with the line connected in place of where the factory tapped it off the oil filter housing.

well, general consensus here is that 40 psi at idle is standard and somehow I've had bad gauges or stuck valves for the past 14 years on it.

On the oil pump pressure....no idea. I can't find the receipts from when I built the motor back in 07. Pretty sure all the stuff came from Summit on that engine build, and knowing me, I'd have bought a higher pressure pump if it was available. considering it always runs at 60psi warmed up under higher rpms, that would indicate to me that I had a 60 psi pump in there, so I guess I'll roll with it and quit stressing.

I haven't dealt with the over heat issue yet. I don't trust the clutch fan now. I've got another one to try swapping it out with but it hasn't been 100 around here the past few days to do any apples to apples comparison whether the clutch change would make a difference since it always ran 195 before when weather wasn't 100 out.
