me neither. I am a firm believer in using the Melling HV pumps, especially in small block Ford engines. They need all the
oil volume / pressure that the HV pump can deliver. My Paxton equipped GT350 had the HV pump, and had 72 psi
oil pressure when hot. On numerous occasions I ran that car flat i out for as long as a tank of gas would allow. After 10 years and 50,000+ miles the engine never had any breakdowns and upon inspection, zero wear on rod & main bearings & zero wear on cylinder walls. I credit the HV
oil pump w/ a chromemoly drive shaft, and Mobil 1 15w-50.
