So your running the stock oil pressure switch on the front of the OFH? or you have the idiot oil switch?
Can't really see it from the pic, is it a big round sensor about 1-3/4 in dia?
or small about 1" in dia?

Yes.. the stock oil pressure switch is running from the stock location. This actual ofh is a jdm one... which doesnt have a dummy light sensor on it. I swapped out ofh to see if my spring was bad. Anyways I circled in red in the picture of where the stock sensor is located.

.010 of an inch is = to .25mm

Yup, wasnt sure if he was in mm or sae... Read as " first, but wanted to make sure.

Can you take a measure off the head at idle, theres a port that sits next to the turbo feed on the head. See what you sit at, giving it some thottle too

Couldnt take this measurment due to not having the correct fitting. I did install the new oil pump and verified that my pressure was good with the mechanical pump. Then I swapped back to my prosport electric gauge and guess what.. at idle i was around 12 psi at operating temp. Guess my pump was faulty.

Im sitting around 70psi at around 2200 rpms while on the freeway. Didnt make a pull due to still breaking in the motor but I am feeling alittle better knowing it wasnt something I did wronge but a actual pump issue. At least thats how I am seeing it.
Something Im a bit confused on.. If I were to do the ofh porting to get my WOT pressure down would that effect the idle pressure? Just thinking ahead right now because the way I see it.. If Im seeing 70 psi at 2200rpms Im kinda wondering what it will be when I rev to 8200rpms OMG

THANKS GUYS for all the help and responses!!!

On a side note... the new block is at the machine shop and the new weisco 10.5 hd pistons/rods are on there way here.
