Angry High Volume Oil Pump LS6 question due to Bad Shop

Ok, I have a 2003 Z06 Corvette with a low oil pressure problem due to a shop in Houston who did me wrong on a install . The car idles at 23 oil psi and when i get on it, the oil pressure gauge only goes to 48 psi. More than likely its a pinched o ring on my oil pump which that shop took off in order to put a double roller timing chain. Since the pump is gona have to be taken off in order to check it, might as well just replace it with a high volume one. With yalls experiences, what is one of the best High Volume Oil Pumps to buy ?

Besides the oil pump question, beware of who you let do your work cause they can rip you off. On another note this shop is well recognize in the LSx community. Its located in Houston, Tx. I know its a vendor on this forum cause its a vendor on the corvette forum.

Some of the top LS engine builders recommend the melling 10296 that's what I bought.
