This topic is like Coke vs Pepsi. JBP recommends 80 psi pumps for long stroke engines, large bearing clearances, large main journals, and HR cams - and they have debunked many of the adverse effects myths related to the 80 psi pump use. The question of whether or not one is needed is a legitimate one, but the harm in using one is another matter. Plenty on here use the 80 psi pump without any adverse effects - myself included.
