Patrick,

I'm using the nicely swept fittings.   The 90 deg turns I can eliminate are in the front engine iron between the oil pump and the
normal engine oil outlet on the aluminum housing.

due to higher oil flow and less friction. 
    

Are you currently running nicely swept fittings like this:

or hard 90's like this?

It's entirely possible to see a decent change by going from hard 90's to
swept fittings. No drilling, tapping or otherwise rerouting anything.
