Default Oil pump questions

Hey all, currently have a H/C/I/E85 2015 Z51. Soon gonna be pulling motor tossing some drop in pistons and rods and giving it some boost. Question is are y’all running stock oil pumps or upgrading since you’re in there? And if so what oil pump are y’all running for these dry sump engines?

I would say stay with stock Z51 pump as its the same pump used in the Z06 & ZR1 & why spend 8 to 9 hundred $ on a pump thats going to be controled by the CPU any way.

didn’t realize the pump was the same for the LT4 and LT5. Probably just slap a new stock one on there.
