Default Possible oil pump problem?

Installed new cam/springs a few weeks ago, ran great. I pulled my car in after racing a '12 SS (won; 4th gen ftw) and all was well. Now I did drive over train tracks at 120 and came down pretty hard on the other side, but all that I heard scrape was the exhaust. I drove it home no problem, oil pressure normal. The next morning I started the car and the gauge didn't even budge. I let it run for a few seconds and I'm pretty sure the engine sounded a bit dry.

So is it definitley the oil pump? Or is there something else I should check first before going in there?

Any oil pump replacement tips/recommendations are welcome.

Check with a manual gauge to verify the no oil pressure condition, but make sure to pull the coil wires so it doesn't start, you don't wanna do any unnecessary damage
