M155HV with brand new shortblock & canton pan...OK?
I just realized that since I have a brand new 4-bolt main shortblock that has tight clearances, i probably shouldn't have gotten a high volume pump. I still have time to change it out, so which one should I get? It's going to be an AI 200cc motor and I plan on beating the **** out of it a lot. Would it hurt the motor to put a HV pump in it?
I have a Canton Road Race oil pan, Canton 3/4" 7.5" High Volume pickup and the melling screen.

That's not the whole story. There are plenty of HV pump threads with info.

I have a Melling HV with a Canton pan. No problems at all, infact I called and talked to ThunderRacing and they said they don't use anything but HV. There are alot of opinions on this subject, do what you want, but there are several running one or the other.

One reason people use to justify the use of a HV pump is high rpm, which completely illogical.The pump output, for practical purposes, already varies linearly with rpm. If the pump produces adequate volume at 2,000rpm, then it will at 8,000rpm. The kicker here though is the bypass. That's why you should use the high pressure spring for a high revver. BTW: why do you think Chevy put a bypass circuit in there in the first place? Because the stock pump ALREADY has excess capacity.
