Default problem with the oil pressure

Hi friends,

i got a problem with my new LS2 engine 402 CI
I tried some rounds on the racetrack and a little bit later i saw that i have nearly no oil pressure.
First i checked the oil pressure contactor but it was ok.
Now i dismantled the oilpump but it looks ok, also the spring and the piston inside.
Also the oil intake tube is not broken and the oilsieve and filter is ok.

Could it be that the plug on the back of the engine is gone out?
When i blow inside the oilduct with a flexible tube i get a small resistor but i can blow through with my mouth.

The mountings should be ok because the oil was clean and the engine listened normal.

Please help an austrian vettedriver

Is the oil level OK ????

I lost an engine because something stuck in my oil pump and didn't notice while the car was warming up for 10 minutes one morning
