Oil pressure does this look good to you guys *video*
Just for piece of mind how does my oil pressure look, to me it looks good. But this thing is alot different then my 5.0 so maybe this pressure isn't so great for an LS1. BTW if you can't read in the vid. the camera was at a weird angle the needle was really reading between the needle and it's shadow on the video if that makes sense. The car shifts about 6200rpm too, the reason i ask if this looks good yesterday when i was getting it tuned the oil pressure was kinda low my tuner told me to change the oil and ask you guys what you all thought. I changed the oil and the pressure came back up i'm suspecting it just needed changed. I changed it once after my mod install but i did have that headgasket mishap too and i had just some cheap oil with a cheap filter on it to get all the crap outta the motor.
Also the oil pressure sending unit isn't a GM one it's one from advanced auto i didn't know if that might make a difference either possibly.

I would not rely on a factory guage, they aren't worth a **** and are set so it all looks okay to the average person. At wot you will get an increase in oil pressure. Get a good set of guages before you worry about anything.

And i know at WOT you'll get an increase that wasn't my question, that's kinda common sense.

It has a brand new LS6 oil pump too.

Your oil pressure looks good to go to me also. The video is fine too, although the plot is kind of weak. You need a good screen writer before you take it to Hollywood.

You are good, as long as you have around 30+PSI @ idle(thats my "comfort zone" but the factory's is WAY lower). And the biggest concern is making sure that needle goes UP when WOT and not DOWN! ROCK ON!!!
