My OIL dummy light is coming on.... is this the oil pressure light or what? I checked the oil and it was low, so i filled it up, but now every once and a while it comes on when I come to a stop..... any ideas?

Ryan,
If the oil pressure light is coming on when you come to a stop (car in gear...automatic trans, I assume)it could mean low oil pressure. First question: when did you last change the oil? Next question: What weight oil are you using? I would change the oil AND the filter (5 qts with filter...fill the filter up with oil before installing). Now, if the oil light comes on again, I would get my hands on an oil pressure guage and check the oil pressure. If it's low, it could point to excessive bearing clearances and/or a worn oil pump. Don't depend on the "idiot light" to give you an accurate picture of oil pressure. The sending unit could also have a problem, so an accurate pressure reading with a guage would be in order.

Well I just put the new cam in and so I am running no synthetic oil, and havent changed it since i put it in a couple weeks ago, I went out and bought a new oil gauge today and it says like 5psi at idle.....something tells me thats low. but at cruising speed its 25...

How aggressive is the cam? I put a pretty nasty cam in my car and had a low idle of about 500 rpm and had low oil pressure, but there was plenty of oil once the rpm's picked up. Just something to think about.

the cam is 218 @ .50

so what do you guys think?
