Hello,
I have a mid-engine race/street car with an LS7 crate engine. Great motor but the oil pressure sensor is mounted next to the oil filter and reads very high (96lbs at startup; 68lbs at warm idle, over 100lbs if I pedal it). I'd like to have it moved to the end of the valley plate. I understand that is a standard location and provides an accurate reading.
So I was hoping to find a shop that will move the sensor as I don't feel comfortable doing it myself. I visited a shop in MTV and they were very knowledgeable and helpful but didn't seem anxious to jump in and do the work. He also felt that a 90-100lb reading is fine and I should just get used to it. Not sure I want to go that route. BTW it connects to a RacePak dash display.
Any suggestions for a shop to take on the work?
Thx,
V

I would assume that you have a Factory Five or something similar based on it being a mid engine street/track car. The readings that you're getting are actually pretty close to what you'll likely see up at the valley cover +/- 7-10 pounds. The LS7's make higher oil pressure than most other GM engines. If the sensor is reading 90-100 PSI at that location then you have 90-100 PSI at that location.

We have a Factory Five customer that just got done building his and brings it to us for issues that are over his head. We would have no issues helping you out, but we are a little distance from Palo Alto.
