oil pump questions what came in the cars with the LS6 block? my 98 has a newer crate, i ran the numbers and its a LS6 block with 241 heads. any knowledge on what came with it? i hear to change to a LS6 pump when you do a cam, but ive never seen below 40 psi, and iirc its around 50 while going down the highway. my motor has roughly 25k on it.

Yeah, it's the better pump not like the ones in the 98-00 cars.
When I do my cam swap, I will be keeping the stock pump. Be prepared to have a rush of people coming in here to say something like "zOMG! CHANGe thAt to PORTed pump OR youR motAr will die!"

lol! yeah thats what im thinking!
yeah, ive never seen less than 40 at idle, maybe 45. it doesnt seem like its worth changing.
someone at texas speed was telling me they were thinking its a ls6 pump
