Hell, I don't even know what I have. I think it was a new, ported stocker. Have to look at the previous owners receipt. All I know is oil pressure is pleantiful under WOT.

Ported LS6 oil pump, a couple of the sponsors have them. Melling oil pumps are good too, but I would say just go with a ported LS6 from thunderracing

I have a ls6 oil pump n my 02 SS. it never drops below 40 psi at warm idle and has more than enough psi when cruiseing or wot. just go with a ls6 or ported ls6 not 2 expensive and will be plenty for ya.
