Oil Pressure dropping

i got a wierd problem goin on, i just got a cam in my car about a month ago, and its still untuned, so now my oil pressure all of a sudden dropped to about 20 at idle and drops when i give it gas...otherwise no problems with the car, no ticks, plenty of oil in it.....would greatly appreciate any help!

if they changed the oil pump or removed the pump for a timing chain i would check the o-ring on the pick up tube. it could be pinched and sucking air

sounds like the o-ring
they have a bulletin out with an updated red o-ring, supposed to cure this
