NEW high volume oil pump I have been told by a somewhat knowledgeable friend that this GM performance part oil pump out-flows an LS6 pump. He said it has never been used in a production car, just sold as a performance or replacement part.
I am just a little sketch becasue all I hear about on here are the ported ls6 oil pumps. It is supposed to be a high flow pump of some sort.

I just found ONE thread about this part. It lacked any sort of details. Anybody running one?
My friend also said there is no need to port, or buy a ported one because they flow just fine out-of-the-box.

On a stock oil pan on an f-body, a ported and shimmed LS6 pump is likely pushing the limits of sucking the pan dry. Anything more such as this pump will need an aftermarket pan.

****. SO much for saving $60 and going with this pump instead of an ls6. H/C swaps blow.....for my wallet at least.
Anyone else actually USE this?

But I doubt thats the same one. I couldn't imagine thunder charging over twice as much for the same part.

Just got off the phone with an SDPC tech guy (answered immediatly by the way 
).
He said it is a GM performace part and FINE to use with a stock oil pan....that is what it is designed for.

i've thought about starving the motor for oil due to a pump that works TOO well...so it lead me to searching and reading that it's ok to run the f-bods 1 quart over full to ensure this doesn't happen? evidently some guys that road race (with corvettes, too) have been doing it for awhile. any other input?
sorry dude, not trying to hijack your thread!

We all know the nickel and dime stuff for a H/C swap really starts to add up.

PM me if you'd like it.
