Mine runs like this with a standard pump and had no problems with oil pressure, been like it for 9 years now

I've been told that a oil cooler kit will reduce the oil pressure, so either you must have a good un-worn standard pump, or you're basing your reply on not seeing the standard oil pressure light go on, which is at an unfeasibly low pressure that won't save your engine by the time it lights up (and not viewing the actual oil pressure on a gauge) ? (a query, not a dig)
I have a capilary oil gauge and when at hot idle i have 34psi.
Hot running is 50psi.
