Default High oil pressure after cam swap?!

I just fired my car for the first time, it runs great....but my oil pressure has been showing 105-125lbs!!

I think it's just a faulty sensor though. The thing that makes me think it's the sensor is the fact it shows 60lbs when the engine is OFF (but drops to 0 when the key is pulled) I plugged in HP Tuners and it shows the same

What does this typically mean? I may have hit the sensor while tearing out all the AIR stuff behind the intake manifold....so the sensor may just be bad?? I put in a new LS6 oil pump during the cam swap. And changed the oil with a new filter. I ran the car for 20min since I felt brave and it seemed fine

oh and video

How did you see your oil pressure on HPtuners? I've got it but it doesn't show it on the guage screen in the scanner.

+1 Where do you see oil pressure on HP Tuners? Mine always reads high on the gauge after I snapped off and then replaced the sensor doing an intake swap

You have to re-configure your "gauges" that are viewable, it's in the settings within HP Tuners

It was reading the same as the gauge in my dash, and the digital readout in the Vette's dash

He has a Vette... I believe the Vette PCM monitors oil pressure, while the F-Body unfortunately does not.
