I just put in my new forged 347 a few weeks ago and got it tuned. Runs awesome. I've got about 250 miles on it now. I have changed the oil 4 times so far.

My oil pressure at idle has always been around 40PSI and 75PSI at WOT. I went out to a car meet last weekend and did about 5 or 6 hard runs with the car and now the oil pressure is at 20PSI at idle and Fluctuates from 40 - 45PSI at WOT.

I don't hear any abnormal ticking or other motor noises and the car still has TONS of power.

I changed the oil today to see if it brought up the pressure any and it didn't. It still idled at 20PSI and was 45ish at WOT. Considering I am spinning my car to nearly 7K RPM I don't think 45PSI is going to cut-it.

Could it be a bad oil pump already? I am open to suggestions of what to check or do next.

Cut the oil filter open and inspect the filter element for bearing material.

I'll do that tonight. I'll let you know my findings.
