Oh man,
I just finished installing my goodies and now am faced with problems
1. When I turn my key to the on position my oil pressure guage raises almost to 80 -> then when I start the car needle climbs quickly till it wont go any further.
2. My alternator wont work - I get a generator circuit code and the battery just dies.
What gives?
Please help I miss my car...
Here is the list of goodies I installed
-Ported/Milled 5.3l Heads
-224/224 Texas Speed Cam
-ASP Pulley
-Ported LS6 oil pump
-LS2 Timing Chain
-LS7 Style Lifters
-Chromoly Pushrods
-Weiand Intake
-80mm BBK TB
-Goodyear gator Belts
-New Oil Pressure sensor
-New MAP sensor
-Removed A.I.R. completely (didn't delete codes yet)
And already had headers and ory

I was gonna say oil pressure sender too, but it says he replaced it.
Alternator, you either broke the exciter wire like jmblown said, or you spilled way too much coolant on it and need to clean it (most likely the former, but I've seen the latter happen on other cars).
For the oil pressure I have no idea.

Check to make sure you didn't accidentally draw out one of the wires for the sensor while back there. Would show as a pegged guage depending upon which isn't making contact... worth a look.

I went to the dealer and got a new 4pin connector for the alternator, to get that guy in there would I need to take off the alternator or can it be done with it still on the car?
