oil problems

i have 92 rs 5.0l tbi 5sp that runs 14.49@97mph[chip headers exhaust] 2.77 borg warner rear. the problems is i have 30 psi oil pressure at idle a little warm, but no oil coming out rockers. at full temp oil press. hit zero unless holding rpm's around 1100 1200 then only 8-10psi, does any one know what the problam? car runs just like it always has dont think its cam bearings, but dont know that much about eng. internals. someone told me oil pump, but how am i still getting any pressure if the pump is bad? any one know how to fix/test?
