Dont know much about the LS3 in a Camaro. I know the C6 Vette guys upgrade the oil pan to a "bat wing" design a la C5Z and this can be had from GM Racing.
I overfill by 1 quart. I believe the C6 Vette guys do the same but am not positive. The overfill should be mentioned right in the owners manual BTW.
Edit: as with any oiling the issue is with pick up (vs capacity per se) during long fast sweepers. As I understand it, the C6 OEM pan is flat and if the turn is long and fast enough it can lead to starvation. Unsure of the Camaro pan design in this case.
