Default Oil Pump Gears / Un-Opened ??

I have created this poll to get some feed back on the use of billet oil pump gears in the Boss 260/290's.

As some of you are aware, there has been numerous failures of the standard gears. Some motors have had relatively minor damage if shut down quicky, some others have been completely stuffed.

The LS1 brigade get a concession in their un-opened motors to run better valve springs, which imo is definatly a performance gain, not a reliability issue.

I suggest that there be a concession with the Boss 260/290 motors, that allows them to run billet oil pump gears and still be classed as un-opened.

Those that probably disagree, either dont own a modified "bolt on" Boss or have plenty of $$$$ to spend when their gears finally let go.
