Default Does my ported oil pump suck?

I just finished my heads, cam, oil pump swap and my oil pressure isn't as good as with the stock pump. Is there a chance I did something wrong on the install or does this pump just suck? At idle with the stock pump after she got warm it would barely go below 40. Now with the new katech ported pump it goes to around 32-33. It doesn't seem to want to raise as the RPM's do either. It does go up some but not enough from what i'm seeing. Anyone else had this problem. Any help would be appreciated. I did remember to put the seal out of the old pump into the new one so I know that can't be it. Any other ideas. Thanks guys
