Default Ls9 oil pump on ls7

Has anyone used an ls9 oil pump in an 07 z06? I've heard it puts out more pressure. Does anything need to be changed on the crank snout for it to work? Not really wanting to spend 900$ on a katech

I did once, didn't notice any improvement whatsoever.

You will get 20% more pressure or thereabouts. I had 45 psi at 200 degrees at 5,000 rpm it went to 53 psi at same parameters. On the earlier Zs you will need a different crank gear. Katech sells all the stuff.

More pressure isn't necessarily better, and it takes extra engine power to make it.
