Loss of oil pressure ?????????
After 15 hours I started losing oil pressure when I would get on the throttles hard (from cruising to wide open). Pressure would go from 75 down to 45, when I back out of the throttles pressure would pop back up to 75. Just pulled the main and rod caps and everything looks brand new, looks like ill be digging deeper. The pick up is verified at 3/8 from the bottom of the pan and no metal in the pan, I did find real fine metal in the filter when I cut it open. I have Canton 9 quart pan with wind age trays. My other motor is set up exactly the same with no problem.

Most typically a pick-up problem. Either air getting to screen or the pick-up has a crack or pin hole or not fully sealed to pump.
Does your pump have enough volume for your engine's clearances ?
During assembly did you fill pan, install dipstick, and then mark dipstick ? This is important with these pans.

Cat,
Just for clarification, did the pressure situation happen prior to, or after wiping the bearing?

Change your oil filters. If you are using mercury filters, I have had two collapse in the past two seasons causing low oil pressure.
