Question Porting, blueprinting oil pump how to?

I had a good collection of how-to articles on porting and blueprinting the stock LS1 oil pump but the wife ejected them.
I had one really good one but cannot remember if it was in Chevy Rumble, GM Hi Tech, or Chevy Hi Tech. I searched each rags sites with no luck.
Anyone got suggestions and/or soft copies? I would appreciate any help.

Thx, Fastone! Yeah, she usually does not do things like that but when comany is coming she goes crazy and "forgets" sometimes. I guess the stack of rags around one foot high was another reason?!?
I did see that article. Made me think hard about my 383 build but I was too far into it to change. Holy cow, there are some monster LS1 motors out there!
Love the Chevy Rumble stuff. I think it is time to add a subscription. Chevy HiPer and GMHiPer are great but I get more info from Rumble.
Thanks again, motor on!
