The Mobil1 and K&N Filters are both manufactured by Champion Labs. I prefer the A/C Delco PF48R to either of those filters personally.

Soooo...
Is the L99 pump any different than the Ls3s?
Has there been stock oil pump failures of L99s with cams? Dont think an LS3 conversion is Required for All cams (VVT?)
Seems to me the pump could still fail as a result of a cam failure on a L99.
Also (mentioned in one of my other threads):
Any reason besides cost why one shouldnt run a higher zinc oil such as the Joe gibbs LS30, even if the car isnt cammed (stock internals)?

I've seen the pumps fail in both LS3 and L99 applications although they seem more common with the LS3..
It certainly won't hurt to run a higher quality oil in any application.

Thanks for the lively discussion on this thread everyone. I hope no one has to go through this expense and at least takes away some learnings from my experience.
Thanks to Jordan and Jeremy at JDP Motorsports for the outstanding support and quick turn around of "UGO2SLO"!

She is running like a champ! I'm glad we were able to get her turned around quickly, Dane! Thank you for your support and I'll see you soon!

That is correct!
