Oil pump Q's???

What would be the ideal oil pump for me to go with? I am building a LT4 hot cam / P&p heads, TNT 125 - 150 shot on a freshly rebuild stock botom end. I have no idea what to buy so if you guy's can help me out I would appriciate it.

Re: Oil pump Q's???

If you have normal oil clearances, a stock pump with a white spring will do.

What does this white spring do? I will be running a stock oil pan. Where is the best place to get this from? Can I get these parts from Jason Cromer?
Thanks,
Steve

Melling M55A is what I use now. Around $30

The white spring ups the pressure a little. All are GM parts (listed on my website) you can buy from Jason.

Yeah the M55A is a stock volume high pressure pump.
