If you just couldn't do oil mods, what's an alternative?

I am building a similar combo, but 440, not stroked. I am using the stock pump with the 70lb spring, more than enough for the 10psi per 1000 rpm rule.
I would concentrate on the horrendously restrictive inlet side of the pump. Use the Hemi pick up, increase the inlet passage sizes as detailed in the MP bulletins.
