Replacing Oil Pump
After chasing some on-track oil pressure issues, going to upgrade to a Melling 10296 pump after acammer's recommendation.
What else should I do while I am in there? I realize doing probably 1/2 to 3/4 of a cam swap job, but I don't think I will go down that slippery slope right now. Is there any other recommended upgrades/updates I can do in this process?

You can plug the oil pan pressure relief valve.

Don't think the 1Les have a relief. Isn't that only on the L99s?
Timing chain and tensioner can be changed as well |

I'm probably wrong, but I thought pretty much all the gen 4 motors have them, regardless of DOD or not. I researched this a while back and that is what I found then.
To OP, don't forget new gaskets and seals in addition to what the others mentioned. It would be a good time for an underdrive pulley.

And this is exactly why I didn't want to venture down the "Cam Swap" road... Initially, in my GPI shopping cart was just the oil pump. Now its: - Melling Select - High Volume High Pressure 8 GPM LS Oil Pump (10296) - PowerBond - 2010-2015 Camaro SS & 99+ LSx Truck Underdrive Pulley Kit (PBU1190-SS25) - PULLEY BOLT (OPTIONAL): ARP - CRANKSHAFT DAMPER BOLT FOR LS, GEN V LT1 AND LT4 WET SUMP ENGINES (234-2503) - MAIN BELT (OPTIONAL): SERPENTINE BELT FOR 25% UNDERDRIVE PULLEY FOR 5TH GEN CAMARO W/ ELECTRIC POWER STEERING (060780) - A/C BELT (OPTIONAL): A/C BELT FOR UNDERDRIVE PULLEY (K040350) - Chevrolet Performance LS Oil Pan 2010-2015 LS3/L99 Camaro/G8 (I figured this would be a good time to do a baffled oil pan for my road course time.) - OEM Style - Timing Cover Gaskets (12633904) - GPI - OEM Style LS2 / LS3 Timing Chain Dampener (12588670) Not for Use in Dry Sump Engines
