high volume oil pump + elec. water pump
high volume oil pump + elec. water pump
Is this a good combination to go with during a cam install? I know the high volume oil pump is typically installed with a rebuild, but would I see some better drivability and possibly gains?
Ive heard that going with a high volume oil pump can give comparable gains to an electric water pump...is this true?
Thanks!

I'm open to explanation.

Most experienced engine builders recommend a stock volume pump with a higher pressure relief spring for extended RPM operation. I've never heard of changing to a HV oil pump to save HP. It would have just the opposite effect.
