Default Oil pumps ?

When I do my cam, I was going to replace the oil pump since I've heard the 98's are notorious for going out. Is there a difference between Katech's and ARE's? I know katech is the ls6 thats been deburred, blue printed etc. Is the ARE basically the same? Just trying to figure out which one I should go with.
thanks.

They're both about the same. I have a 99 and went with a 2001+ part number stock pump. The additional oil pressure is not necessary.

Can't complain about my ARE pump it's nice to see 40+ pressure at idle and 60 psi other wise <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Go Katech. Just as good and you'll save a few $.

I've also always run 10w-30 (Mobil 1). Lucky I guess? Nevertheless, I'm switching to an ARE or Katech pump when I do my cam swap later this summer.
