I'd love to be able to make a run like that. I took my '98 CSE right up to the rev limiter in fifth gear (149 mph) coming across the Nevada desert, but didn't maintain that speed very long.
Anyway, the symptoms you describe sound normal to me. When you run that hard, things are bound to heat up a bit, and when they do the oil pressure will drop down. I've seen it many times on turbocharged small aircraft while on a long climb with high power settings.
You should be carefull to run at a lower power for a while to let things cool down, before shutting down the engine.
Another side note. Two days after my high speed run I was crusing thur town and the left front valve stem (which was less than a year old) failed and let the air pressure out of the tire in a heartbeat. That's not something I would like to have happen at speed. Point is, make sure everything is in good running order before you go that fast.
