30-50 PSI is good when warm.
What type of pump are you running that breaks the drive? Use a std volume pump and a std pressure relief valve spring. Anything else wastes HP unless your engine bearings are worn or have large clearances. It also places a large stress on your pump drive. You do not need a high pressure pump under any circumstances. Any debris that can get past your pickup screen will also jam the pump.
