5w-xx is as low as im going to go, I barely get 10psi with the engine warmed up.
seemed as if you were putting emphasis on the 5W portion of the oil rating as being responsible for low pressure at full temp.

in any case, 20 weight is something i would personally leave to lighter duty engines without doing some significant testing on an engine i could afford to lose.
