Years ago I had a 440 with a high pressure pump in it, in cold weather it would peg a 100# gauge at start up. At temperature it ran almost 75# at cruise rpms. The only oil I ever ran in it was Havoline 10-40. After beating on it for five years I rebuilt it and installed a standard pump.




High pressure and high volume pumps are two entirely different things. I high pressure pump simply has a higher rated relief spring. A high volume pump has a higher displacement volume.

You are correct.




Not correct. A high volume pump has more displacement and a higher bypass pressure. http://www.melling.com/Aftermarket/Tech-Tip-Videos
