The ls1 and ls6 oil pumps are the exact same and as for the ls2 chain it should appear to be a lil thicker like previously mentioned.

No, it's not high. It's really only above 80 PSI that oil pressure becomes an issue.

If it's above 80 PSI during a pull I'd look into changing the spring for the relief setting, or cutting a couple coils out of the one in the pump.

I had REALLY high pressure in my 441 LSX. I was using a Melling high pressure and hihg volume pump and saw 130 PSI while running 20W50 on the dyno for break in. I pulled the pump, cut the spring and dropped to 5W30. It is still a little high on start up but never peaks over 80 PSI during a pull after the oil temp is above 200*.
