Another thing I like about the LS2 Corvette sump is the baffles. The pickup is almost in the middle of the sump all the baffles and galleries are designed to keep as much oil as possible around the pickup.

With Camaro sump I liked it because the reservoir is at the rear. Under hard acceleration all the oil moves to the back of the sump where the pickup is. The Corvette can pull better than 1G in the turns so it needed better oil control in the corners. The baffles all around the central pickup keep the oil for sloshing up the sides of the sump and down near the pickup where it's needed.

You can see the pocket in the center where the pickup sits



Cheers
