Re: high voume vs. factory spec oil pump
HV pumps are generally needed where the bearing clearances are on the large side. Even a stock pump increases output with rpm, so just the fact that you may turn a higher rpm is not justification for a HV pump. Found out the hard way one time that you should run a HV pan with a HV pump. At high rpm the pump would all but empty the pan and start sucking air, most of the oil was in the top of the engine.
