Just wondering what oil pump to use on my build? Its a ls6 with a ls2 chain. Not sure if should run a stock style or aftermarket pump. Let me know what you guys suggest.

I run the melling, it is a very nice piece, and worth every penny in my opinion. I will only run melling in my engines. alot of guys run ported OEM pumps, but why not just get a better quality pump that does not need any additional work. Thats my experience.

is that the melling with the high pressure spring?and does it improve idle pressure or just the pressure relief?

Ls6 pump unless you got a high hp build then I'd prob go with a melling or ported pump

Stock ls6 unless you want a ported one for higher pressure.

Im running the SLP pump and love it, but I got it for a good deal and have been told its just a melling with SLP milled into the side. I just like the fact that its clearenced for a double timing chain.

Are you saying the Mellings pump comes clearanced for the double roller chain set?

We offer the ported LS6 pumps that are very popular. They are hand disassembled, ported,shimmed & reassembled!

Paul Bell - To answer your question, yes. The pump is CNC machined on the back to clear a double roller setup. When I bought the timing chain it came with some spacers, but they are not used with the SLP pump.

Any particular reason why the 10295 over the HV/HP 10296? Any issues with running the pan dry with the 10296?

The 296 has potential to run the pan dry, but most people use the longer truck filter and run 6 to 6.5 quarts to prevent this.

I just got an SLP.

Is anyone running the 10296? I'm looking for a new pump for ls2 pushing 480+ Rwhp. Or should I get the regular melling pump I believe part #10295? Thanks for the help

I'm interested in this as well. I bought the 10296 and after reading about running the pan dry i'm a little concerned. Should I exchange it for the 95? Car is only going to be a ~425whp car. Will prolly spray it though.

i have the TSP LS6 pump and that thing is amazing. i have 70psi cold idle and an average idle of 55-60psi hot (unless i beat on it then it is closer to 50psi) after 2K rpm it will push out 70psi all day
