You may get a better understanding of your situation, which BTW, looks quite normal to me.

Lots of good info, but still leaves the issue a bit foggy, especially with a lot of theory involved.

I estimate about 350-380Hp out of this motor. I am running a high volume oil pump with a stock depth oil pan. Would I have been better off running a regular oil pump or does it really matter? I am just trying to avoid a future problem.

I just don't want something to happen that merits that I end up having to pull this motor again and get it on a stand. I can replace the oil pump with the motor in the car..... if the high volume pump is a problem and might cause more harm than good.

Thanks.

BTW- I am not running a remote oil filter.... just the filter at the block.
