Just installed the LS6 w/ EGR
Just installed the LS6 w/ EGR now my oil pressure guage is way past 80. WTF did I do wrong. I read that most people end up breaking it during the swap, but I was really careful and I didn't see anything that was F*cked up. Man I'm so damn pissed right now. Can someone help me out here??
I dont really know enough about it to tell you if its ok to drive it or not but I think the answer is no don't drive it.
Reach under the cowl to the back of the intake manifold and gently see if you can locate the oil pressure sending unit and make sure it is still in one piece, they frequently get broken when doing intake swaps.

that narrows it down, it's a very common problem
I know for a fact I connected everything that needed to be connected. How much will it cost to replace this oil sending unit and where can I get it? So, should my service engine light be on since I broke that sending unit??

NAPA sell's them for about $7 or so. 
It is not screwed into the manifold, it's screwed into the block between the manifold and where the brake booster hose connects to the manifold. Trace the brake booster around backa nd you'll feel it.
You might be able to change him out without removing the manifold even. Search for oil pressure sending unit in this section and you'll come up with a few pictures of it.

So if my oil pressure is passed 80 does it mean I didn't plug it in? I did a search and it was saying something like that and if its passed 0 then you broke it...is this true? Why is my service engine light on??
