Default stall install now no motor oil psi

so i just finished up my installing my vig 3200 and started up my car and placed it in drive and reverse to make sure i did it right and all seems to be good there ... but i notice that now on my gauge cluster the oil psi comes up off the red but just by maybe a 1/16"
and ideas here i have no clue?

before the swap i had a good 40+ psi

Behind the intake.... Check sensor and wire. Bet you screwed it up.

Since the two are totally) unrelated I will also go with the fact that the oil pressure saith behind the intake is bad, or was accidentally struck by something while the granny was being moved....

12.00 and a busted knuckle should have you back in business...

yeah same thing happened to me, its your oil pressure sending unit. if the transmission is raised to high then the bellhousing will hit the oil pressure sending unit.

No. The oil pressure gauge is not driven by the PCM.
