I have an ls3 block, l92 heads, but a ls6 oil pump and ls1 batwing oil pan. On slicks, should i still have the ls3 oiling issues?

I always wondered if the batwing would work in the LS3. You would think so.. Right?

I have the LS3 motor with the C5 bat wing and have seen no press drops in autox pulling some high G readings, but they were not long duration corners as I dont open track. I have done some sustained turns doing some skidpad testing and the readings never dropped
