DOD delete, Keep VVT, Which oil pump (L99) - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I did the DOD delete but keeping the VVT system. Will I also need to change the oil pump now that it does not have the DOD system with LOMA?

Which oil pump should I use...keep stock or buy other?

Keep stock. Our L99's come with a high flow pump.

If you keep the L99 pump expect high pressure which can lead to sucking the pan dry at extended high RPM and seal leakage.

L99 you can stick with stock

I've never heard of a L99 sucking a pan dry. They hold 8 quarts.

At extended high RPMs running the L99 its very possible.

I used a high pressure high volume pump and never had a problem with it for over a year now

Melling makes a L99 pump. It offers higher pressure and high volume. If you dont use a GM pump this would be a decent option. Melling part 10355

Been running my stock L99 oil pump on DoD deleted VVT heads and cam car with no issues thus far.

See sig for mods list....

I deleted DOD, kept VVT, running stock pump

GRNFLSH · 06-19-2018, 11:32 PM

Stock L99 pump

Tran2la · 06-20-2018, 01:10 AM

Thank you for all your replies. I will stick with the stock pump. I also drilled the new lifter trays with 1/2" holes for a bit more drain back to oil pan.
