LS Engine oil flow rate

Does anybody know the approximate oil flow rate of a LS engine? Looking specifically at a LS7, assuming good scavenging action, what sort of GPM is required evacuate the pan? And furthermore, assuming the pickup is not always submerged, what sort of scavenge rate is required to pump the pan dry when oil is getting sloshed around?

TIA

Great info. Is that the scavenge or the pressure side? Or are they both the same?

And is LS7 pressure pump stage same width/displacement/flow rate as the stock LS pump?
