Oil Pressure guage twitches

I have a video link below that shows what it does. 9 months and 6k on a new build 2000 LS1. Already replaced the sensor and it seems a little better but you can see for yourself. It's scaring the crap out of me.
Ideas?

Clean your grounds starting with the negative battery post and including the grounding points on the back of the heads - star washers are your friend.

Thanks for the replies. I will definitely check the grounds. I was scared I had an oil pump failure. I've been afraid to even start the car

Mine has done the same thing since i got it 90k miles ago. I recently put in a new ls6 oil pump during my cam swap and it still does the same thing, so i dont think it is the oil pump.
