I would definitely put a mechanical gauge on their to confirm the anomaly. That's strange.

I'm not too familiar with the LS1 oil pump, but the LT1s have a pressure relief spring. If the spring gets stuck there's no return to the oil pan and everything is forced into the oil gallies. This can accelerate bearing erosion.
