My two cents would that it is an oiling SYSTEM. The pump just being one componant of said SYSTEM. I agree that a Melling select pump is a good choice. I would be more concerned on a wet sump system about getting the correct pan and pickup for the type of driving conditions and usage. If you don't keep the pickup submerged in oil 100% of the time the pump can't do it's job. Bearing clearance is part of this system and if you havent opened up the clearances to much I would stay with a standard volumn pump.
