Loss of oil pressure when boosted Running a 6.0 LS Pro Charged with 20 psi boost, oil pressure runs at 70 psi until it's boosted, as soon as we apply boost the oil pressure starts dropping and ends at 50 psi with 20 psi boost. As soon as soon as the by-pass valve opens the oil pressure goes back to normal at 70 psi, testing was done on a wheel dyno making 1000 hp at the wheels.
Engine is completely re-build from top to bottom and previously broke in with 2 hours of run time. Removed filler cap and opened both vents from valve covers with very little change, very slight vapors escaping.
Where can this pressure be going and why is it related to boost?
