damn, didn't know people hated pumps so much............ do i need it wasn't the question, would it hurt was...... oil pump is pretty easy to get at when you motor is on a stand flipped upside down........

steel gear for me (roller cam).......... i really didn't think 20% could cause a problem.... i understand the stock valleys and releifs are for the stock volume but is 20% more really going to kill anything?

seems i've hit another subject that is like guns........

i'll look into a nice stock volume pump...... and maybe contact some of the vendors and see what they have to say......

leonard, looked at some of the blueprinted ones before but they are a bit pricey for an oil pump......
