95psi of oil pressure at idle!?

So I just installed a accusump and an oil pressure gauge. I started the car up and the gauge pegged at 80psi plus, I thought the gauge was wired incorrectly until I switched on the accusump valve and the accusump primed to 95psi. I’m obviously not driving the car. Any ideas? I don’t know what the pressure was before the accusump install but I have had trouble keeping cam plugs in. The car likes to push them out and spray an impressive amount of oil (quarts in seconds) so it may have an over pressure problem. I’ve since installed a modified cam locking tool to hold the plugs in. Any ideas?
