It idles at 17-20 psi and jumps up to 45 when I touch the gas. I took it out for a quick test ride, and the pressure is fine as long as my foot is on the gas. When I come to a stop, it dipped to almost 10 psi, bogged, and the Check Gauges light came on. I'm going to end up tearing the motor apart again. What should I look for?

The pump gear itself may be damaged, or the pressure relief got stuck and its bleeding the output back into the pickup side. You could also check the cam retainer plate to make sure that is tight and the seal is good.
