For around 4K you can make your car bulletproof with a upgraded pump or end up like this poor guy that will have to spend thousands of dollars to repair.

Newsflash, every component on your vehicle is prone to failure at some point. Hearing about ONE 2023 that failed or any other one-off failure from 2019-2024 does not make them a problem. The original issue from 2017-2018 has been fixed in 2019+ models. I don't disagree that if you're going to be modding your car well beyond stock, the Katech is good advice. If you own a 2017-2018, even if its stock, swapping to a Katech is good advice. Given how many 2019-2024 ZL1s are out there stock and modded and almost none of the stock oil pumps are failing, I'd say whatever they did to fix them seems to have worked.
