Difference between standard volume 3 gpm and high volume is 3.25 gpm. so high volume is 10% more. The gauge tap is before the oil cooler, filter, lines not after. All factory set oil pump rv are set to releive at 60 psig, if you are below 60 psig your flow is identicle regardless of pressure. By the way your oil filter has a internal bypass set at 10-12 psig differential unless you have a high performance FL-1HP and then it is set 18-20 psig differential. If you have 90 psig you internal bypass is opening on your filter and you are bypassing you oil filter.

Will you please stop spouting facts based on physics. You're gonna get some guys upset. Everybody KNOWS you need 8 million pounds of oil pressure or your car will spontaniously combust..
