Default What oil pump to go with?

I'm getting ready to get my 6.0 put together later this week, and back in the car by next weekend. Right now, it just has a stock LS1 oil pump on it, but I figure I might need something better. Which pump should I go with? Would a stock LS6 pump be good enough, or should I get a ported one, or what? Motor will be stock rebuilt LQ4 6.0, with TSP 231/236 cam, and stock L92 heads, with full bolt-ons.

Stock LS6 is fine. Nothing wrong with a ported pump either. Either way would work. If you are on a budget I would say get which ever one is a better deal at the time.

Just had a guy PM me and says he has a new Thunder Racing ported and shimmed LS6 that he'll sell me for $80 shipped. Sounds like an awesome deal to me. So, I think I'm going to go that route. Better than $105 for a stock LS6 from WS6Store.
