stock or hv oil pump

Rusty, with the HV pump and the stock sized pick up tube you likely get more flow and pressure at low RPM’s. It would be at higher perhaps max RPM that a restriction to flow would occurr that a larger pick up tube would resolve.

I don't know. Maybe so. But how many of these guys are going to hold their engines at "that high" an RPM on a street car for "that long"? I do suppose as cheap as the pickups are, go ahead and get one, but what about the threaded hole in the oil pump? Same size.
