Default Ported or not?

I will be ordering cam parts next week, so I'm just checking my list.

Should i get the Post ls6 oil pump or just stick with the regular ls6 oil pump?

I've read that you will have lower oil pressure with the ported, so what would be the point. Would higher be better?

any info?

pressure and volume work together. most ported pumps are shimmed for more pressure as well. even a ported pump that isn't shimmed will move more volume than a stocker.

I would definately say go "Ported/Shimmed"... I am running a G5X3 cam in mine with a ported/shimmed LS6 oil pump.. oil pressure stays around 60psi most all of the time..
