Need to kick this around w/u guys-
Alright-
My 350...on the dyno makes, to the wheels 307hp and 347tq. When im on the road, putting the car under a load(take off, or anytime when engine is pulling around 3750-4000) the oil pressure dropps slightly. I have the stock oil pressure gauge, which has been proven effective and reading. Normally I teater around 60psi. When it dropps it will go down to 30psi, then when I let off the throttle, it goes right back to 60psi.
--Now I know this isn't normal.....I'm of course thinking the worst(cracked block/oil pump)...but I am not for sure.....ANY IDEAS GUYS??
