You are aware that the factory LS7 dry sump system is subpar and needs quite a few upgrades to perform better? Mine when road raced would hold pressure from about 5000-7000rpm and not gain any. Meaning it would be about 55psi from 5-7K rpm. After much research the stock LS7 oil pump cover can deflect allowing oil to bypass the pump and not increase in pressure as RPMs go up. That is why there are billet cover style pumps out. In addition ARE and others offer an additional external pump plus different style oil pan to make the oiling system really work. I sold my stock LS7 engine pretty much due to this as it was going to be $3K to redo my oiling setup. |
Ya I have an LS7 going into a 1st gen camaro and have been contemplating what to do with the oiling system. Aviaid has a good article on the subject,
