High oil pressure

I have a stock pump that buries the needle when accelerating...
At the lowest my pressure is between 40 and 60 psi when warm but the second you hit the gas the pressure rockets...
Other then the relief valve i don't know what it could be...

i noticed it after i put these trick flow chromoly pushrods in and i'm wondering if the oil holes are smaller then the stock rods (just thinking) but at the same time i had the pick-up fall off my pump and i put it back on and thought it would be fine...

How can you tell if your relief valve is stuck in the closed position?
