You haven't gained anything.  Your pressure went up because you restricted the flow.  I can't imagine any instance where reducing flow is good.

THIS COULD BE GOOD IN MY CASE - RESTRICTION CAN BUILD HEAT - SOMETHING MY ENGINE IS LACKING - HAVE A BAJA - OPEN ENGINE - RUNS TOO COOL ON OIL TEMP - HEAD TEMP IS GOOD EVEN ON FREEWAY HAULING BUTT - HAD GOOD OIL PRESSURE TO START - TIME WILL TELL.
