oil pressure help
took my car for the first drive since done and it seems the oil pressure is low. It has a ported ls6 pump and i think i put 10 30 oil in it [ i think ]. The stock gauge cluster is hooked up with a new oil sender.
Here is what its doing, 40-50 cold at idle then when warm it hits around 20-25 at idle and 40-45 WOT. Iam gonna try a autometer gauge and see what it reads also.
Does that sound to low, i thought a rule was 10psi per 1000 rpm , so idle would work but WOT wont

Everythings new so its hard to say. After i change the oil and hook up the autometer oil pressure gauge if its stays the same i'll pull the front and see whats going on in there i guess

I have had mine since 27000 miles on it, I Haven't really taken it to 6 grand but when I romp on it it the OE gauge doesn't climb past 45-50...I have had people tell me it is normal.
