Default oil pressure concern

Recently just installed xer281hr comp cam and fast 102 intake. I had lower oil pressure before (20 at hot idle) but the oil pressure would rise during WOT. Now (when hot) it will not rise at WOT. I get up to 4k rpm and it stays around 30 or less. When i throw it in neutral and rev it it rises as expected.

Running royal purple 5w30 with lucas synthetic. Would love some experience here Thanks in advance all!

Yea i did replace the pump as well, put on the pump from a 2002 camaro (new). hard to say exactly (because it was replace by insurance company at one point in its life) but around 70-90 k, body has 105k. about 30k miles ago I replace the piston rings to clear up blow by issues.
