Sounds to me like the piston oilers are doing there job. Putting a lot more heat in the oil. Now it's time to step up the rest of the oil system to handle the extra heat. Get a bigger oil cooler. Sometimes you end and up having to run 2 oil coolers. We have motors out there that run oil through not 1 but 2 14plate coolers...

Does that filter head have a provision for a sending unit on it somewhere? If so try wiring one up at that point and compare the 2 engines.Edit- looks like you've tried that.

I Monitor after cooler so I know whats feeding bearings, after a safer tune this win ter on Dyno I am struggling to see 150 AFTER cooler, I am addressing that now, but all last season with mid to high 12's for A/F I saw190-220 after cooler, I changed NOTHING else, so tune can play a huge role, Also Dan is making a little more power now too, I know he went to a smaller 9 plate over the 14's last season because he was cooling too good before, do you still have those 14 plates?
