If Adger says differently, I will defer to Adger. But, why would anybody think they need a high volume oil pump? I never understood why they are even made & offered.
I took a break from drag racing for a couple of years about 1972, to build my business. I was closed too many week days for travel. I had helped a couple of local dirt track guys, and decided to try that, because it was just Saturday nights right here in town. At the time they weren't allowed dry sumps. 310" limit, wet sumps & carbs. Most were using high volume pumps just because after 25 to 50 laps oil pressure at idle dropped to 15 or 20 psi. Big deal. They wore brass dist gears & camshaft oil pump drive gears like crazy.
Oil filters always full of that that crap as well. I just used the std volume Moroso blueprinted pump from my last C/SM engine, same short block I started with. Zero problems. Just changed the heads, Carillo rods, cam & oil pan. Won some A features the first year.
I changed the pumps in the engines I helped guys with. Had a sharp local machinist cut the gears old camshafts, and put them on the cams they had killed, press fitted with a dowel pin. Stopped all those issues. Bearings stayed nicer without that crap going through them.
I, and a LOT of us, use Larry Stewart LOW volume pumps now. My second choice would be the Moroso blueprinted pump.
