Hi volume oil pump vs standard volume pump

I had an issue with a high volume oil pump that make me keep a better eye on things. I’m bad at looking at gauges on 8-9 seconds passes down the track. Luckily I have a RacePak in my Duster and while looking at data apparently my bypass spring was sticking and my oil pressure was jumping up to 130 of pressure. Again lucky my Wix oil filter was up to the task of not blowing apart.

Not an issue with the HV pump per se.... that's an issue with the relief valve sticking which is identical in both types. Impressive on he WIX filter! I can see not looking at gauges for 8-9 seconds of fast action.....

IMO I would not use a hv oil pump with a stock oil pan . Due to the risk of pumping the pan dry at upper rpm's .

Misconception due to the term 'high volume'.... The oil flow is set by the pressure into the engine, the restrictions in the engine's oil system, and the viscosity of the oil. Since both the standard and HV pumps can have the same pressure relief springs in them, they will pump identical amounts of oil at high RPM's where both will be pushing pressure up to either of the relief spring settings.
