(it is a brand new ported mellings pump)
I suspect the lack of pressure is due to the leak. It was *not* that low in other logs of oil pressure in the past. It wasn't that hot either, but not far off.
Would a Mellings oil pump be a viable option
From my time with a LS, and talking to tuners and LS specialists, the "weak" OEM oil pump is one of the first things they recommend to swap out if I was going to give the engine any high RPM
I opted for a Mellings high volume, with the high pressure springs and I never had a issue with it
Cost wise they are not expensive in the scheme of things
