Howdy Everyone,

I randomly came across the below video on YouTube and immediately recognized the similar style of oil pump...



While the test to show an improvement is hardly scientific, if the different design improves oil flow it could be worth looking into. The lobe design is similar to superchargers.

Except how many people need a better pump than OEM?

With normal blueprinting procedures the OEM pump has proven itself reliable at 8500-9000 rpms. Only above that rpm level would I consider changing things, and at that point a dry sump starts to make more sense, especially when hard cornering is encountered.
