cavitation kills pump impellers, which is quicker to occur at lower pressures. when cavitating, flow isn't going to be as goodas it could be aswell, leading to overheating of engine parts and boiling of the fluid beyond nucleate.
My car comes with a 1.4 ATM cap, so that's 20 psi. I'll leave it as is... but on another car with 20 psi cap I also ran with the cap loose when the radiator was leaking, without issues. I never did use all of the potential of the engine though.
