My question is do you think i should go with a High Volume Oil Pump or go with my Stock Volume Oil Pump on my 351w. I am having my crank polished and will be using standard rod and main bearings and Milodon Street/strip oil pan and pick up.
I have heard High Volume oil pumps rob power and do more harm than good but im not sure.

please let me know thanks.

t/c,

I used to think that too, but go with a hv pump and thinner oil.
