Default Did I buy the wrong oil pump??

I'm finishing up gathering my cam/243 head swap parts and been thinking that I might have bought the wrong oil pump. I bought a meiling high pressure pump. Should I have bought a high volume pump instead?

I'm pretty sure you can change out the spring inside of pump to make it lower pressure if you wanted. You dont really want high flow on a stock pan as you can run the pan dry because the oil wont drain back as fast as you are pumping it out at high rpms. Or so people say.
