Re: Oil perssure ? 98' LS1's had a recognized weakness in their oil pumps, keep an eye on it and if it starts reading below 40psi consistantly replace with the new ZO6 oil pump.

Oil perssure ? I was driving home lastnight and decide to do a 30 punch from 1st and looked down at the oil pressure and right when I hit the gas the pressure went from 40psi to about 20PSI and thats got me really nervious. Does any one have any ideas what this means any input would be great thanks.
