Which oil pump? (SLP) LS6 or high volume
Which oil pump? (SLP) LS6 or high volume I need a new oil pump for my LS1 blower boosted rebuild .
I was told to get a ZO6 pump.
I found out there is two different pumps and part #'s
One is the ZO6 pump and the other is the GM high volume pump,
I am not sure which one is better or which one to use.
I trust SLP but for $180 i think that too much $.
What pump and part # is SLP using?

SLP uses a Melling 10295 (unconfirmed) that is machined for double row timing chain.
If your going to use double row chain get an SLP, if your using a single row chain go with a melling 10296.
we have both in stock.

OK I think i will just go for the SLP since i will be running a roll-master double roller timing set, and Yes it looks like a Melling with the part # grinded out and replaced with a SLP stamp and serial #
But can anyone tell me whats the diference between the melling 10295 and the 10296 pump
thank you for your help.

Your 100% correct...
I've verified it.
I ONLY use the Melling 10295 or 10296. (Preferrably 10296)

what most people do with 10296 is use pump shims, clearance bolt heads on the timing cover. Saw someone replace the pump cover bolts with button head screws to gain clearance.
I'm sure you could just grind a spot in the oil pickup on a 10296 pump and clear a double row, like what slp does.

I just bought the 10296 and I am porting it myself. I figure I saved $75.00 off of Thunder Racing porting charge. A good Dremel Tool and a little time works wonders, even though this pump is fairly smooth inside.

Why??..... If an LS1 makes 40PSI, it has more pressure than it will ever need. Any more is just wasted HP and excessive wear and tear on the pump. HV pumps are a complete waste of money in 99.8% of the applications out there IMHO.

Exactly.... and even then, it would be more so with non ball bearing turbos which require more oil to safely operate.

Cause thats the way I wanted it... I had an oil pressure problem last time around and that will never happen again...
used spacers and changed bolts to button head screws
Still its good oil pump

Thanks for the heads up Fraser, I sent a couple guys your way on a couple of those pumps.
