Re: New 383 Build

Not to be a a$$ but I understand the reason for not going with high volume high pressure pump.I for one don't mind giving up a few hp for extra oil flow to my bearings.I run a very high pressure pump on my race engine.Many tell me the same thing.Sorry I fell to see where too much pressure and too much flow is bad,other than a few hp.If you can like the idea of less oil to your bearings under heavy load by all means go with standard volume pump.Then again what do I know only 20 years bulding pro drag race engines that make over 3000 hp.Yea I know these street motor are not on ragged edge like race engine,but then we are not talking pumps that make 120 plus pounds pressure.
If motor is basically stock low performance than standard pump is fine.If motor is stronger then IMO it need better lubrication.
