Aloha,
First, I would measure the pressure at idle and at full throttle to see what it is,like the other poster said. I would also try to find out what the pressure for that type of engine should be. The reason for this is because if someone messed with the oil pump and put in a stronger spring, that would account for the high pressure and you could possibly replace that spring with the stock one. But, if the higher pressure is normal for that engine (according to specs)and you exchanged the spring for a weaker one, so your gauge would read ok, then you may damage your engine. Sometimes some people will install a stronger spring when their oil pressure is low (worn engine) with the idea that it will lube better.
