Which oil pump

Stock clearances=stock volume pump in my book. Your wasting HP spinning that HV pump and also creating alot of heat from the oil bypassing.

When you compress oil it gets HOT, the more, the HOTTER.

I use stock pumps in my 340 and 410 strkr that have 2 thou'ish bearing clearances.
Your just using up HP turning it to the tune of 20'ishHP@ 6000rpm
