Pantera has a high volume pump that the engine builder
prepped before installing with an Aviad pan With a mech
gauge shows 60 psi almost all the time. Motor is 10 years old
and sees track and autocross turns at 7500 rpm with steady pressure
Best motor I have ever had and I have lunched over a dozen
in my lifetime. But it is a dart Ford  . Flame suit on

Bob,
Maybe I have this all wrong... I have been avoiding the High Volume pumps as I assume those would make the problem even worse. Am I wrong on that? When I read high volume, I'm thinking that pump will suck the pan dry faster and push the oil up into the top of the motor. Is that wrong?
I have a phone call in to Schumann's who sells a ported and modified LS wet sump pump. I've read good things about them on various LS forums. I want to see what they have to say. They only do HV pumps, so maybe I'll learn more there too.
