I don't mean in a race motor. We could talk days about that. What kind of oil pressure do you think them guys run ? If you check, you will find anywhere from 90-120 lbs. I wonder why ? Yes, they have more oil capacity, but all that increase, they need it. A street motor built for the street, if done properly, will npt have a problem with a high volume pump. I don't care what is said on that. I know that for a fact. This always seems to go in circles.
I have a high pressure, high volume oil pump on mine, 5 quart pan. I have held it well over 120 for extended amounts of time, and never ran out of oil. Are my drains blue printed, you bet. The whole engine is, by me.
Theres 6 chevy motors still out there running great that I built before I got out of the shop. I meet those guys about once a month at the donut shop. No problems, or believe me, I would hear it. :LOL: :LOL:
