Oil pressure problem

A shop here in town built my smallblock. Trucks been running for like 4 years and it does just fine, still going strong. It's my little drag truck. Here's the deal, it carries about 50psi while at normal hwy speeds, but 12-15psi at idle, maybe a few numbers lower. It doesn't smoke, doesn't make any noises and should have anywhere from 6,000-8,000miles on it. It's plenty broke in and it gets shifted at 6,200-7,000, and has been to 9 a couple times. It's ARPed and has main studs, every bolt in the engine is ARP. It has a Mellings high volume pump. What's the deal here?
