Katech Revolutionizes LS Dry Sump Oiling with the TrackFlow™ Billet High-Capacity Scavenge Oil Pump

CLINTON TOWNSHIP, MI – December 8, 2025 – Katech Engineering, a leader in high-performance powertrain development, today announced the launch of the Katech TrackFlow™ LS7 & LS3 Billet High-Capacity Scavenge Oil Pump. The pump will be officially debuted on December 11th at the Performance Racing Industry (PRI) Show in Indianapolis, IN. This announcement arrives as the vital GM OEM pump (PN #12623097) is discontinued, positioning the Katech TrackFlow™ Oil Pump as the essential, no-compromise upgrade for LS7 and dry sump LS3 platforms.

ENGINEERING TO MEET EXTREME DEMAND

The TrackFlow™ pump is engineered from the ground up to address the critical oil control demands of track-driven and high-performance street cars with dry sump engines. It is the replacement that not only solves the supply crisis caused by the OEM part’s discontinuation but elevates oil pump performance to a new benchmark.

“The TrackFlow™ is more than a replacement; it’s an evolution,” said Mark Rapson, Owner & President. The Katech TrackFlow pump is a purpose-built, full-billet assembly was engineered for superior crankcase scavaging and oil pressure stability, giving builders and racers the confidence to push the limits.”

TECHNICAL HIGHLIGHTS | UNMATCHED SCAVENGE CAPACITY

The core value of the Katech TrackFlow™ Oil Pump lies in its significantly increased scavenge efficiency, a vital metric for maintaining oil-free crankcase air and preventing oil starvation during sustained high-RPM operation.

Performance Metric Comparison

+62% Increased Scavenge Compared to Discontinued OEM Pump  (#12623097)

+44% Compared to Katech Ported OEM Pump (KAT-A5069-LS7) 

This unprecedented capacity increase ensures that oil is rapidly and reliably pulled from the engine’s sumps back into the reservoir, maintaining consistent pressure and safeguarding against cavitation and aeration.

PRECISION AND RELIABILITY | BILLET CONSTRUCTION

The Katech TrackFlow™ Oil Pump is a complete departure from cast construction, utilizing full billet aluminum construction machined from premium-grade material.

• CNC Ported & Blueprinted: Each unit is precision-machined to exacting tolerances, ensuring optimal fluid dynamics. Every pump is fully documented, blueprinted, and serialized for complete quality traceability.
• Hardcoat Anodized: Features a durable, corrosion-resistant hardcoat anodized finish with a laser-etched Katech Performance logo and American flag.
• No Core Required: Eliminates the logistical burden and downtime associated with core exchanges, especially as suitable, low-mileage OEM cores for porting have become increasingly scarce.
• Pre-Lubed and Ready: Ships pre-lubricated to ensure optimal startup protection and expedited installation.
