Is the oil pump gear something that can be upgraded at a shop by dropping the pan ?
Or is this a more complicated upgrade ?

It's wise if you race the car, especially if you use a two step.Wow...I had know idea. Thanks fellas....for the detailed explanation & the estimate. Streetpwer....were you experiencing any signs or fluctuations in pressure or did you do it as an upgrade. All the stuff we do for power mods...and I'm thinking the way I lay into it sometimes...it might be wise money during our off season in NY to prevent something way more costly.
Perhaps it's time to ask around a few shops.

Front timing cover has to come off, and in order to remove that, the alternator and the oil cooler have to be removed too. If you have headers, there's a good chance the driver side header will need to be removed. My ARH header had to come off to remove the cooler line that was bolted to the oil cooler adapter. Of course the cam covers need to be removed and the driver's side is a bit of a challenge to remove because of the brake booster. To even get to the oil pump, the primary chains need to be removed. It's not a simple project.
