5.9L, Melling HV pump, stock pan, dual remote oil filters

Thanks for the feedback guys. So either run a stock pump with stock pan with some risk of oil starvation under hard launches or, deep pan, HV pump and low to no risk?

Kinda. Like I said earlier you don't need a HV pump unless the bearing clearances are loose. Do you know what the clearances are? If you run a HV pump with tight bearing clearances all your doing is wasting energy turning the higher capacity pump and heating the oil more
.

Does anybody race with a stock, non-baffled pan and pump?

Yes some guys do. Right away they get to rebuild their engines too because oil starvation on take off under power will trash an engine in a big hurry.

If you plan on racing and the car hooks up don't even think about not running a baffled pan. JMO
