I drove mine like a jerk and never lost an oil pump

It is a hit and miss issue on LS3's, but I'd hardly call it a common problem unless you go to a bigger cam without buying a upgraded pump.

He was genuinely passionate about Camaros, and I think the product reflected that.

He will be missed, but GM certainly picked a good engineer to go head the new EV department for sure.

No

You tune it at 3000 feet so the air fuel mixture is happy, it doesn't correct the amount of power you're making because your car is still breathing much thinner air compared to sea level.

This always seemed to be coupled with guys going to a bigger cam and not upgrading/replacing the factory pump

Can't say I saw many factory LS3's with oil pump failures during my years here.

I'd buy a Mustang

The new 6th gen refresh might be the ugliest Camaro ever made, they were worried about sales and they shove that turd out.

16-18 Camaro's are a different story though
