I don't have any additives in the oil and it drops fast but when let off it goes back to normal

I'd hazard a guess that the oil bypass is opening at full throttle and then sticking open.

Could it be that you are pumping most of the oil out of the pan during the pull until the pump starts to cavitate dropping the pressure? Not dissimilar from the road race guys dropping pressure in long corners. If everything else is ok and pressure goes immediatly back up when you let off---that would be my guess. Try a baffled pan-- prob solved.

**** it. Go dry sump and call it a day... Lol

Ive never bothered to monitor pressure so i cant say how mine responds. Get the 60k service done and you should be fine. Well if its the 60k that replaces the oil pump and all
