Whats a good oil pump for 600 H.p. - 02/04/06 02:49 PM
What is the best punp for a 600 hp street strip 446 ? is anyone running a milodon adjustable?

Using a speed pro high volume and matched the pump opening to the block passage. My biggest problem is lowering the pressure as I have too much.

Is the 1/2 pickup realy that important?

Quote:Part of doing the 1/2 NPT pickup mod is to drill that passage to 5/8", which is the ID of 1/2 pipe. How important is it? Well, that depends if you need it or not! Nothing is cut and dry.
Is the 1/2 pickup realy that important? Since the passages inside the block after it threads in are not drilled that big the rest of the way to the pump does it make much diff.? thanks

I'm running a stock-type hi-capacity. No problems with it. Guessing the hemi makes about 675hp.

Ken, would you mind giving us your oiling system setup sometime? I think I recall that you're running the stock pump with 3/8 pickup but have full grooved mains and a high pressure spring? Unbushed lifters if I recall but blocked off left gallery? 30 weight? I'm still trying to figure out why I spun the rod bearing in my 383 stroker.

does too much pressure use any extra horsepower? I have about 90 psi at a hot idle.
why not have high pressure with hi volume? [

too high pressure is hard on bearings.30 at idle,80 at 7000 is plenty.
