The Superchips Flashpaq F5 Performance Tuner # SU4845 will fit your 2007 Chevy Silverado New Body style with a 5.3L V8 Engine and will help improve your towing performance with its pre-set towing tune. What this does is optimize both your engine and transmission which is going to help the long-term health of your engine by adding up to 12 HP and 11 TQ so it is a very good idea to use this tuner with your truck.

In regards to an oil pump, a smaller one is not needed as the Flashpaq is designed to work with the parts currently on your truck. In fact, the powertrain warranty for this item does cover the oil pump (among other parts) for your truck.

I have added a link to the instruction manual for you to check out as well.
