The spring is what dictates the pressure, it has nothing to do with the 25% extra volume that a HV pump is capable of suppying. If you set a standard pump, a HP pump and a HV pump all to 65PSI, it will take the same amount of energy to spin all 3.
The reason I like a HV pump set up properly is, if the bearings clearence is loose, the oil gets thin and the engine needs some extra volume to keep the clearences filled with oil, at least the HV pump is capable of suppying extra oil, where as a HP or standard pump may run out of volume.
I do not like running HV pumps with stock pans, only if the pan capasity has been increased or if an accumulator is used.
Not trying to start an arguement, just throwing in my 2 cents.
