JMan,
If the oil filter is a System 1, remove it and put a standard Wix or Hastings oil filter and test the pressure again.

The System 1 billet oil filter has a known history of giving problems to many racers and engine builders with either extreme high pressure or oil pressure fluctuations.

The only billet oil filter I recommend is the Pure Power Billet oil filter.
It has a bypass and it is well engineered for the specific engine, including a dedicated oil filter for LS engines.
