Default Strange Oil Pressure issue at WOT.

LS2 engine has been together for 1000 miles and occassionally at WOT the oil pressure flat lines at zero. At hot idle the pressure is 30-35psi and under load the pressure comes up to 45-50psi.

This sounds like an electrical issue to me with the sensor rather than anything mechanical. Has anyone seen this?

My first thought was electric also. Plug in a mechanical gauge somewhere, and check it out. I hope it is electric so you don't have to pull the pan.
