Default Thinking about upgrading oil system

I've been thinking about upgrading the oil system to a high flow oil pump billet cam plate etc. I was looking into the fueling and Tman kits does anyone have any experience with these and all the benefits besides cooler oil temps.

Conventinal thinking is its more about flow than volume and increasing the amount of pressure is not necessary but its up to the individual as to what makes him sleep better at night and if a stronger pump does that then peace of mind is priceless.

So pretty much no point in upgrading. I guess I was thinking of future engine mods, heads bumping the compression 10:1 etc. pretty much looking to do anything to enhance reliability, longevity. After all it's a touring meant to put miles on.

I had to change out cams, cam plate and oil pump back in April. Went with a billet cam plate, a copy of a fueling, and their billet oil pump. My oil pressure is 50+ going down the road hot, and 10-15 at idle. is the oil cooler? I don't have a clue....but I believe that oil pressure is GOOD--- no pressure BAD>>>>> anything in between is great........
