Are you useing a high volume oil pump? Might be the culprit. Also, just curious what injectors you went with. I have a 99' I'll be building for and I'm checking out all the options.

Firstly, you can run the stock computer without modification,
Secondly, if that's the idle oil pressure when the engine's hot and it rises to 40+ psi when you rev it up to 2000rpm, it's normal. The oil pressure will be higher when the engine's cold.

20-30 lbs at hot idle isn't bad at all.

A HV oil pump wouldn't cause low oil pressure.

Thanks and yes I am running a HV oil pump oil pressure cold at idle and running is 40 then drops to 20 when idling hot .I have 24 lb injectors installed and other then the oil pressure everything else is good.

All is good with the oil pressure I installed a manual gauge and when cold pressure is 60 and then falls to 30 . Now after running it i have develope a slight miss when accelerating but not all the time it is very erratcic you can drive 30 miles it it might do it twice on acceleration any thoughts from anyone ?
