How good is our stock oil pumps ??
hey guys,
as some of you know i'm about to install my Livernois LS6 stg II heads and tsp 224 xe cam . i was wondering if my stock oil pump on my 02 SS can support the extra pressure ? Will a ported LS6 oil pump be needed ? I'm sure it wouldn't hurt anything if I did get one. My car only has 30,500 miles on her ( bought her new back in 02 ) . i think the stock one can support my extra mods ,but i just want to get some h/c guys opinions . thanks in advance

but its good to feel safe if your oil pump had a long journy on it, mine its 03 and had few miles on it.
but i only recommend swaping after oil pressure check .
