School me on new gen hemis

Rat Patrol,

I haven't hear anything about the squirters impeding oil flow to the bottom end. I did read an extensive discussion regarding the oil squirters. It appears that early stroker kits, especially the 4.050" and 4.080" ones required the elimination of the squirters as the piston skirt would run into the squirter. As a result many argued that the squirters weren't really needed anyways.

Others however argued that the squirters were important, particularly in boosted applications, even when using forged aftermarket pistons. For example, the stock Chevy LS9 uses forged pistons and squirters.

Later stroker kits have notched the pistons so that the squirters can be used.

You can see a pic of the notched piston here:

The thread also discussed the oil system and the fact (belief?) that the factory oil system on the hemi pushes a lot of oil and adding a high volume oil pump can lead to catastrophic oil starvation. As a High Volume pump will pump so much oil up into the heads that the oil pump can suck air. Thus if you are going to run a high volume oil pump, you need to run a larger capacity oil pan.

Here's the thread that discusses the squirters:

Anyways, If you can find the discussion regarding Hemi oiling please post. I'd love to read it.
