Pressure should be checked at high idle. SCUTs and CUTs in every case I know use direct acting relief valves. That means oil is working against a poppet held by a spring. Increasing flow by increasing engine speed means more flow has to go through the poppet at relief, so the open area needs to increase, and that happens by compressing the spring holding the poppet shut. Factory spec is at high idle warm oil. The shim kit adds a shim to the end of the poppet spring giving it additional pre-compression. Here is an illustration of a direct acting relief. If the pressure needs to be adjusted, this illustration shows a screw adjust but most CUTs require shimming the spring.
