I may be wrong, but I'd think the 20W-50 oil would cause the higher pressure due to the thicker viscosity.
I can tell a slight difference in my car between 5W-30 and 10W-30 although it may be due to the extremely close tolerances of the GENIII SBC. For instance in the summer months running 10W30 keeps my oil pressure a hair or two above 40psi at idle. Using 5W-30 under the same conditions drops the pressure to just below 40psi. These observations have been at normal op temps.
