what am I doing wrong?
I have a fresh 383 ls1 with 15 mile on it. When I first started it up I only had 20 psi of oil pressure. No problem, replaced the pump with a ported slp one and a stiffer spring. Everything was good for 15 miles! 15 miles then i noticed it dropping again so I changed the oil sending unit and nothing. Is it the pump again or should I what ? Any help is greatly appreciated.

I am going to check it with a mechanical gauge. I changed the sending unit with the same results. The motor was fine before all this started. even to pull it in the garage it was running fine.

ok so I installed a mech gauge last night and the oil pressure reading was at 20 psi at 2000 rpm. so Im stuck. should I tear the front apart to check the oil pump o-ring or dig into the back of the block for the barbell plug?
