We agreed to swap some 60 psi components for her 80 psi parts. Good deal Tom.

Tom I know you have, I also suspect Mark at Luhn Performance has spent quite a bit of time with the Melling engineers. With his involvement of oil pump design he has shared some very interesting stuff regarding the subject, along with the subject of bearing clearances involving the weight of oil.

The oil pump, interesting topic and and no intention in ruffling feathers here by me. After posting here for 20 years typically I've seen in conversations involving the 80 lb pump the odds are good the topic will turn to excessive parasitic loss. This in both the street section and the race section. And more often than not someone will suggest by reducing oil pressure you can free up a BUNCH of horsepower. Nothing persuades like a number, it was just conversation and maybe someone to cite the data and the source.
