Well, I've been doing it for over 30 years now and not sucked one dry. That's running the high volume pump with the high pressure spring.
I'm not building race cars, just street performance and daily drivers. I've logged over 500,000 miles with hv pumps, hp springs, and stock pans. 318's with 2.02" intakes also. Not a problem.
Say what you will, it's worked for me. #-o
