99.9% chance of bad sensor! Common problem. To be sure, turn ignition key on but don't start engine. If you get a pressure reading with the engine off, you've got a bad one. Tech Tip has the details for replacement.

I had my TR224 installed last month, and with that I had the LS6 ported TSP oil pump put in. I think I gained 5-10 PSI during normal use. Today after the oil temp was around 130 degrees, I jumped on the car in 2nd , 3rd and into forth until I notice my oil pressure jump up to high 70's. I quickly shifted into 5th and 6th, and the pressure dropped back into the "nromal " range of 45 PSI. Its never been that high becuase. Could it be that the oil was still a little cold. It was in the mid 30's here in NY today. I have 38 % oil life left.

Mine was reading about 70 psi when i got on it one night, sort of scared me for a min then it dropped. Next day when i started it, the gauge was reading 129 psi

It sounds like your oil pressure sensor is bad.

That's where I would be looking for the source of the problem.
