4-5 miles at 120+ is brief?

That's heat soak for ya! Pretty normal. Your hot oil pressure is fine. I wouldn't worry about oil pressure until you drop way low - or unless you're doing extended high-G turns (road racing). Idle at 32 psi is normal too.

maybe you should mod the car so it doesn't take that long to handle an rt charger

Sorry but your math is wrong. At 120 mph, one would travel only 2 miles in 1 minute. If the OP traveled 4 - 5 miles as he said he did, it would take him 2 - 2.5 minutes to travel that distance at that speed.
BTW in order to cover 4 - 5 miles in 1 minute, one would have to be doing a sustained 240 -300 mph. I seriously doubt there's a (street legal) C5 in existence (or ever was one) that can (or could) go that fast.
