ls6 oil pump!!! quick question
im running a magna charger on my lq9 + cam on 10psi boost
would the stock oil pump be fine?
im thinking to upgrade my oil pump to tsp ls6 ported oil pump
would it be a direct fit on my lq9 engine?
and what if i want to fit a stock l92 oil pump or any other recomendation ?? for other factory oil pump it will save my time rather than ordering and waiting 8 days to ship a ported oil pump?

The stock pump will be fine.
A ported pump is a good upgrade when it is time to make a cam swap, but I personally wouldn't pull apart the engine just to swap the oil pump.
The higher pressure pumps like those for the vvt engines are not needed as the stock pressure is plenty.
The old rule of 10psi of oil pressure per 1,000rpm doesn't really apply to the much improved ls1 style oiling system.
15psi at idle and 50+ at power is fine.
