Default !!new Startup/dropped Oil Pressure!!

Hey guys, just fired up the ls6 for the first time tonight, SOUUNDED SOO GOOOD....I let it run for a couple minutes and the shut it down to fix a couple leaks, then started it again and let it run for probaby ten minutes. I have an aftermarkte high volume oil pump from lingenfelter, and I noticed that my oil pressure was reading betweent 118 and 130!! I thought it would go down as the engine warmed up, as I backed the car out I saw that my ins. cluster says service engine soon, and low and behold I have 0 oil pressure....what could be wrong??

Probably the oil pressure sending unit behind the intake. They are common for going bad on c5's.

I run one, it reads around 41 PSI at idle & around 47 at cruising. That is on the factory fbod guage.
