Holy good F...........
That is beautiful. I'd have that anodised to try and retain the finish.

Holy ****, I think that's the prettiest piece of metal I've ever seen. That's way too sexy to install under a car.
You really should see if you can do a plexiglass tunnel/floorpan to show that thing off.

Yes I have been running mine for a little over a year.
I cant say I believe in this RPM LVL7 has been in my car for over 3 years, it has been up and down so I will say its been running for a solid year with zero issues, with no extra pump, no cooler and the stock placement for the return line. Mine has been fine with zero issues I havent even changed the fluid in it.
Pfitzner offers conversion kits that you replace the internals with their gears and shafts. Other than the metallurgy, the parts are dimensionally comparable, so it makes me wonder how much more power they will handle, if any. I've got one on my bucket list for this last build of mine.
What I believe is the greatest contributor to failure at these power levels (other than the obvious) is the heat generated at the gear surfaces. These parts are hardened and tempered. If the surface temps exceed a certain threshold, the parts lose their strength. Pulling the longitudinal G's in higher powered cars pushes the fluid needed for cooling away from the places it's needed. Coupled with the force applied to the gears this is the recipe for the "runaway train" effect. I believe that the greatest thing you can do to help a 6060 take this kind of load and abuse is to not only use a large cooler, but get a good Tilton pump assembly like the one in the pic below and strategically place the return nozzle/s to spray the critical areas inside.
