Oil pressure sensor upgrade recommendations

[Vovchandr]

At the end of the season I've been getting.. questionable oil pressure readings on my stock sensor. Very close to 0 with occasional bumps up in pressure on stock sensors. 

 

I've always been low indicated pressure but with changes such as removing the Accusump that granaded on the track I'm looking at other options to make sure that the sensor is the likely issue.

 

I've search at old threads but they go back to 2008/2010 and some things may have changed in the last 13 to 15 years.

 

Looking for general recommendations from the experts

 

One of the old threads was linking to this

Imho, I prefer autometer mechanical oil pressure gauges when a standard, six foot plastic capillary tube will reach (mid-engine not so much unless mounting in the center console like a pantera). I heat some water in a large pot then hold the tubing off the bottom while it uncoils to the pot id, then take it out and hold it straight while it cools. Routed with small zips and in small split loom or vac hose for more protection if needed. Definitely route through a grommet in the firewall. Very little nut torque is needed to seal. Generally, the smaller a tube, the greater the burst strength and the more rapid the response to pressure changes.

I run the Racetech mechanical gauges (coolant and combined oil temp/pressure) in my Westfield.  The size of the temperature sensors is a pain, but not an issue if just using oil pressure.  No complaints after nearly 20 years of use.
