LS6 Oil Pump (on a 98?) Doing cam, just wondering which is a better choice for me. A stock used ls6 oil pump, or the ported & shimmed one from TSP? Used is 1/3 of the price, but am i losing alot over not getting the TSP one?

You could go through SDPC and get an GENIII high volume oil pump new for less then 80 bucks shipped. Thats what I did. Link is attached. By the way i had it in like 2 days.

how many miles on the used ls6?
If you have a 1998 ls block I'm not sure it has the updated oil galleys and such for better distribution. I would definately put in a new ls6 (~$45) or get the SDPC or similar high volume pump.
Dont forget a new o ring for the pick up.

for the $5 I would get it new... I didn't realize it was someone elses' oil pump. It's prob ok w/ 30k but not worth $50. For the amount of work to get to and change it, there's only one way to go..
good luck
