Oil Pressure too high?

I rebuilt the engine in my truck about 3000 miles ago and recently switched to 20W50 oil from the 10W30 I used for the first 3000 miles for break in. In the motor I have a meeling Hi Volume , Hi Pressure pump and I am running with .0025" bearing clearance. Anyway when the motor is cold the needle is off the gauge. I mean I can't even see the needle at all and when its warm its at the far right of the gauge . Even at idle its between the 3/4 mark and H . This super hi oil pressure isnt really something Ive experienced before. I'm running the super long Fram filter , valvoline 20W 50 and CL77 bearings. I dont leak a drop. Is this going to blow something up or should I just be happy and drive on down the road? Anyone had similar experiences that turnd out sour?
