If it ever drops below 30psi, then I'll park it and order a cam kit and oil pump.

Not sure how you can accurately extrapolate to get 17% failure of all 2017 ZL1's, but I know it's probably not a small number. If you look at the facebook group, you'd think it was every 2017 and 2018 ZL1.
Its certainly a very significant percentage. Just be thankful yours hasn't failed yet as long your dealer is willing to replace it when it does fail.
