Sorry, but you are 100% wrong. If engine clearances stay the same, and they do, they the oil pressure goes up with the HV pumps. I've taken out numerous std. pumps from all types of Ford engines, and installed Melling HV pumps in their place. You can expect a 15 to 25 psi increase in hot oil pressure after the swap.
