So things to check, I'm trying my hardest to avoid pulling the engine but I'ma bite the wrench here and do it all over again, I let the anxiety get the best of me. Thanks guys I'll post what the problem was when I get it fixed.

1. Feed tube

2. New oil pump (why not)

3. Lifters?

4. I'll check my radiator

Runs from the oil pump down into the pan. Good luck, and replace that reservoir too! lol

Lifters wont show you anything as far as oil pickup or pressure, but my concern on them is if you ran them dry, especially under load to accelerate as much as you did, that damage occured. Checking the pickup tube will cost you an oil pan gasket, just do not force the pan off, they can be tricky. Also I am not entirely sure how the oil pumps on 5.0s are driven but if its shaft driven which I am pretty sure it is, its possible the shaft is broke or not set right and not driving the oil pump.
