Oil Pressure?!?!?!

The reason i ask is i recently pulled the oil pressure sending unit plug cleaned it out and plugged it back in.....Now ever since i did that the oil pressure at idle is about 15-20psi and only goes up to about 60psi when driving (about 4k in rpm's) any help would be greatly appr....
