oil pump gets starved during super hard braking procedures

i've noticed this a few times now ...

i've upgraded to the bob's brakes C5 conversion and ever since then when i slam the brakes at a high rate of speed and the tires actually stick then all the oil runs to the front of the motor and the oil pressure guage on the dash starts dropping fast, once or twice actually getting low enough for the "check guages" light to come on.

i am now putting 6 quarts of oil in rather than the 5.5 specified in the manual and this helps a little bit, but it doesn't fix the situation.

what can I do to fix this?
