It takes 4 seconds to get an oil pressure reading after an engine has started running, so I don't think you are going to move the guage just by cranking.

on my new build, i took out the fuel relay and unplugged the coils, tuned key over for about 15 seconds 2 times and mine built up pressure. then i fired her up.
