When you say "ported" Z06 oil pump I assume you mean one that has been slightly modified for more oil volume. It's not uncommon for a higher volume pump to have a slightly lower pressure. No biggie. The main thing is that it has plenty of oil volume while still being in an acceptable pressure range. You sound like your in good shape.
