the stock pump will do just fine the high volume ones are only good if you plan on running more oil like 8 quarts with only 6 quarts ive seen the pan get sucked dry at high rpms with a high volume in these style motors

Yea I was leaning towards the stock LS6 pump seeing as mine has 150,000+ miles and works perfectly. I just hate to have it off during the cam swap and not put a new one on, then 20,000 miles down the road it goes out. My dad has a 96 silverado stock with 330,000+ miles no oil pump issues. The old man refuses to get rid of that truck I guess he's to attached.
So is 4.8L 5.3L 6.0L truck/suv Ls2 Ls6 oil pumps all the same? I thought the Ls6 oil pumps had a lil bit more flow than the truck oil pumps.
