Default oil pressure

Last week My oil pressure sending unit snapped in half, not a big problem it gave me a chance to have my 90 mm intake ported while I had the intake off. With the old sensor my oil pressure at idol would be around 45 psi and around 70 ps1 at wot. Now with the new sensor my oil pressure is around 70psi at idol and it barely moves up at wot. I am just curious if there could be an issue and if I shouldn't drive the car until this is resolved.

Do you have access to a mechanical gauge?

No, But I just purchased a electric oil pressure gauge and just need time to install it.
