looking for a oil pump for H/C/I setup, ls6 or ported ls6 ? Gonna be doing LE2 cam and heads and ls6 intake plus all other bolt ons, im getting a ls2 timing chain kit from tsp and i was thinking about the tsp ls6 ported and shimmed oil pump or just go with a stock ls6 oil pump ? Also i was tolld i should be fine with stock injectors ?

If you are close to sea level I would think about getting a set of injectors. I know the n98 cars have a 28lb injector, but to be safe you might step up a bit. You can get away with either a ported LS6 pump or the melling high pressure. I always its a crying shame to do the work and then put a stock pump back in there. Its not that much more for an aftermarket one.

I'm confused. How did your pressure go up Using a stock pump? What do you mean by up ? My oil pressure never get below 50psi with my new high pressure pump. And that's at idle

I thought the 10295 didn't really do much as the increased pressure doesn't show. If you want more volume for the top end, you use the 10296 with the standard spring and 6 qts for a stock pan.
Lot's of conflicting info from reputable builders out there on the subject.
