Oil pump question on my future motor

Somewhere I have an article about a Mopar engineer who did extensive testing on oil flow in small block engines back in the 70s. I have looked for it but haven't found it. When I do I will reproduce it and post the facts he discovered. One fact I clearly remember is that he found that a regular standard volume Mopar oil pump fitted with a non-restrictive pickup tube (1/2" ID or more) would put out more oil than the high volume pump would through the factory (3/8" pipe) pickup tube. Another conclusion I remember was that the standard pump would supply adequate oil for most engines (assuming that clearances were within design spec.) up to about 7,000 RPM. Beyond that he recommended the oiling sytem modifications described in a few threads on this site.
