I'm not sure losing 2 lbs. of oil pressure between different oil filters is a bad thing at idle. The loss of two pounds represents an increase in resistance in the filter. If that resistance is caused by the filter media being finer it also means it is likely trapping smaller debris particles and/or staying under the filter bypass pressure longer.The filter can definitely affect the oil pressure on a hemi.Oil pressure is measured after the filter on a Hemi,so a poor quality filter can and will affect the pressure.
