Stronger internal gears. Much much stronger. Don't seem to suffer oil pressure release valve sticking issues as much.

I've got pics of a genuine gm oil pump I had on mine where the gears had shattered.

C20let oil pump smashed to bits. Once I fitted the z20let one never had another issue.
Seemed to be revs that killed it though when we upped the limit to 8k
