Default Re: Oil pump question (Pontiac)

Hey Brent, just use your 10540 melling pump. You don't want 80 PSI of oil pressure. no need for an engine that your lucky will make 500 HP. A stock pump is more than enough. Our deal is about small gains, every little bit helps. Including extra drag from the oil pump.

Or will my machinist recommend 80lbs and clearance accordingly? Just curious... this is a little different than a simple bracket engine... i wanna try and do as much right as i can... Goin for F/SA... i think my car might be a better fit in "F" instead of "E"... not sure yet... because im 230lbs, i will carrying some excess poundage...hehehe .... Y'all chime in if im wrong... thanks, Brent
