I don't want to disagree
but
Share a thought or two
We sometimes try and use principles of Race Car applications on
Street Car applications and that does not always work like it
would seem to at first thought.
When building a race only motor you don't consider the ability to
go for 100k miles, provide quiet operation, yada yada yada.
That allows you to build the motor loose for less friction and more hp.
The mains, rods, and the like will not only flow more oil, but flow more
of it at a quicker rate. The high volume or pressure pump is needed
for a sufficient supply.
Now ... Lets shift our focus to Street Cars
A big pump on the more tightly built oem motor has been known to
wash out the bearings from time to time
and
The fact it has to work so hard to force the supply against the tighter
clearances has been known to actually sap a bit of hp.
Just wanted to point out that some of the time .........
More of something is not always a benefit
