The purpose of running a gauge is to tell you whether the pump is getting old. That would cause low startup pressure.
I wouldn't worry about it. The motor isn't under a lot of stress during startup. Plus, plenty of modern healthy motors will flail around in their bearings before the pump catches up.
not miles about 12 inchs'
and pump is brand new... and while i know its not under a lot of stress, i don't like it because it still shouldn't do it. I was thinking on my limited knowledge, from the filter being held up right, and while the car sits the oil drains out, and right during start up while the pressure builds there is that gap... but i pm'ed two gentlemen on zilvia and neither that were running the relocation had this issue.
