Default issues with oil preasure since 1.7 roller rockers

oil fluctuates under 40 almost never hits 40 unless im driving and still almost never comes up.. and since they were professionally installed when i floor it from a stop i can chirp the tires.. but before they were installed flooring it i could spin them longer.. is that normal i have a sct tuner and its still on the same tune and i have power just doesnt seem like it has it on take off the way it use to! maybe its a good thing since i have traction on take off now and before it was hell but nothing has changed but the harland sharp 1.7 roller rockers

Did you soak them in oil before you installed them?

BTW that is a beautiful SS/T. I have never seen one in orange...Its just begging for a set of white stripes! If you ever want to trade wheels, just call me.

Hope they dont fail on ya, because you dont have a warranty now (since you didnt soak them).

the truck has 209,000 and only has about 200 miles since the roller rockers and no noise at all sounds the same as before just has a more agressive idle.

Do a compression test, or, better yet, a leak down test.
