oil pressure help
nice out today so i took the beast out......when im driving the oil pressure is way past 40 like it should be... when i stop at a light it goes below 40 and when the car starts surging like its going to die "on stock tune" the pressure drops drops raises drops stays before 40 then i give it some gas and it raises like normal... im guessing its just trying to die and the oil pressure goes down??? or maybe i just need that tune!!!

oil pressure is going to fluctuate like that when the car is trying to find idle, as the pump runs off the crank.
get a tune to smooth that beast out. then the pressure should look normal.
