    Mine has always idled that low. And its been doing that for 70,000 miles that i've owned it. Maybe you're fine.. But I'd swap the oil pump just to be sure even though those really aren't weak links in LT1's at all.

    i think he said it idled at 25 which was fine but when he started driving it would get lower and lower

    "So I take a valve cover off ( driver side ) with the car running ( @ bout 25 psi ) and and watched the oil flow from the rockers ( nice lil stream ) 4 about 15min. But as I drive the oil pressure slowley drop and drops untill my check gauge lights up. I stopped driving it but the car would run fine the whole time even with with the oil pressure at 5psi. I have changed the sending unit, add a mech guage and changed oil filter. Dnt knw what else to do pls help!!! "

    my oil pressure is about 45-50 at idle cold... then it drops to a nice 10-15 at hot idle.. you might be fine.

    idleing or driving it shouldnt make a difference should it? drivin it the engine is reving up. causing more oil flow which should increase pressure. but revving it up in park or neutral should too
