[quote=88 coupe;21926]Do not believe everything you read. Especially on the internet.

All else being equal:
At a given pressure, both pumps will move the same amount of oil. In a performance engine that has wider bearing clearances, more volume is needed, in order to maintain oil pressure, and a "standard" pump might not be up to it.

Short answer: The extra 20% of flow is not used, unless it is needed.


Not a problem. Since you are using "factory" clearances, that comination will work just as well as the factory oiling system.

Depending on how you are using your application, slight

restriction of oil to the top end might be in order otherwise you are good to go!
