Jack, There are valid reasons that a $20 pump will be terribly inadequate in some applications.
A nitro motor needs 100-150 psi at idle at the hit or will destroy bearings. A Titan is fully adjustable and expandable. I have 3 of them. 2 of them are the expanded nitro versions.
You would even set up your pan to adjust your oil pessure with the pan on should someone need that.
Another application would be an endurance/marine application. My Pontiac powered jet boat ate oil pumps. They do not like high temps for long periods.
If you are N/A and drag racing, I would guess the $20 pump would do the job but, I am not going backwards, will stay will my 3 Titans.
