is a oil needed im fixing to install a tr230/226 111las in my 02 z28, i have read that alot of people install ported ls6 oil pumps. is this some thing i need to do when changing out the cam or can i get by w/my stock one.
It is usually recommended when you do a cam swap because you are already pulling the front of the motor apart so its a good time to do it. A lot of times people like to go with a Ported pump with a stiffer spring which helps raise the oil pressure up. Some of the 98-00 pumps are pretty weak and after some miles start only making 20-25 psi of oil pressure at idle. You can go with an SLP pump or a melling or companies like Texas speed have them too that are basically LS6 pumps that are ported with the stiffer spring inside.

im think of running ported ls6 heads, i want to freshen up the motor it has 82000 miles on it and i wanted to change out the rings and bearings. i have also thought about changing out the rods and pistons but that like $1200. so i dont know if it is worth the money seeing is that im never going to spray it. and i heared the bottom end is go to 400-500hp.

will it is an ex-cop car, have good oil pressure and it doesnt smoke when i start is. i had planed on pulling the motor because its my second car. so you think doing the bearings and rings is a waste of money?
