Thanks man, sometimes its hard to get a straight answer when asking on this site, 99% of the time i just wind up calling the vendor anyways. But this time i will take your advice and just get a new one, thats what i thought would be the good thing to do anyway

definetly better than stock BUT requires sone grinding on the cover and the pump? correct me if im wrong or you can substitute a LS2 chain - beefier and fits w/o issue.Unless your running some radical cam and lots of spring pressure - run the LS2 another .02c

this is kinda like arguing over the voltage VS amperage isn't it? so what exactly are you fixing by installing a high volume pump? my point is that in 99% of any of our cars are not going to see any benefit of it so why bother? some say you cant put a price on piece of mind - id don't disagree if your that far into it why not? buy WHY do you NEED the extra song and dance added to your pump? does a stock one make you nervous?

I bought the SLP oil pump/ timing chain set, sold the timing chain later on but the oil pump looks like really good quality. Have not installed it yet, the cam/heads are going in next month

1. That is what people on the internet have said. Is it sufficient? Probably. Is the Melling better? Well, Mine went in perfect, makes great pressure with the high pressure spring, and works great. Shop manager for TR told me they only reason that he stocks ported GM ones is for the internet crowd that has it in their heads that this is the way it is. He said Melling is far superior, and recommend it highly.
I have the SLP pump and chain, and the chain clears the pump no problem, dont have the cover on yet though.
