What oil pump do you guys run? I have a SLP had 50psi idle 80 wot I really think its working great but I think its time for a change after seeing the last motor and how the bearings looked. What's a good pump ported ls6?? Stock? Melling?
I run the melling pump. I had the same pump in my previous car and had no issues. My oil pressure is insanely high though, ha. It rarely drops below 60 psi at idle and the needle is pegged at WOT.
Well there we have it, about 800whp, stock-ish weight and the gen3 rods will bend lol. No piston damage?
I run a ported ls6 and rotella t6 oil. oil pressure is about 60 under normal conditions and 40 after some racing.

Great runs Doug. Sorry and yet jealous to see you crossed the threshold of power so few ever experience. Good luck with the forged set up! I am cheering you on from the sidelines.

Thats why i post everything that happens. Last edited by Camaro9969; Sep 24, 2013 at 12:40 PM.
You have no faith in the TU2? lol I think like i talked about i'll try a back to back comparison run this cam dyno it do some track time and throw your cam in there with the same number, see the gains and where they are in the curve. I can only swing so much $$ this year. Its been a very expensive one for me and i have a list that i still need to get before next season. One of those is a Pro Flo XT intake.........
Thanks man i appreciate that!!!

Thats why i post everything that happens.Let's just say I've learned a lot since I recommended that cam. You're going to lose a ton of bottom end power if you don't match the cam to the intake.
Your car is heavy and under geared.
Just trying to help make sure your combo is optimal.
That's OK though, it just means my cam will gain that much more when you do swap.
