Hey! Just reading up on your issues, and I have the exact same issue on my car.
Fully built motor with eagle rods, wiseco pistons, gt2860rs, all appropriate supporting mods etc etc.
Everything was running good for the 500 mile break in period and everything was good on the dyno up until 6500 RPM where I lost all oil pressure. It was 0-10 psi at idle and around 20-30 at 2k rpm. Was experiencing the exact same issue. Although, I was hearing a very distinct " whine " that goes up with engine RPM. It almost sounded as if the oil pump was cavitating. Pulled the motor, cut open the oil filter and didnt see any metal chunks out of the norm. My oil pan was dinged and the pick up had a small piece of RTV in it but other than that, nothing out of the norm. New pan and new pick up in hopefully starting the motor up again soon within the next week or so. First suspicion was oil squirters, since I know thats a common issue with wiseco pistons, after inspection they were all in tact, 2nd suspcion was oil pan/pickup which have been replaced. If the issue still persists, my final conclusion is going to be the Mains.
Sorry to revive a thread but just wanted to see what your opinion was.
