need help with oil pump selection i have a 408 that will be daily driven and have the **** pounded out of it on the street and prob every week or too at the track, car will be shifted at 6600 and my clearances are between 28 and 30 . i have a 7.5 quart pan with 2 -10an fittings so ill be running a remote filter, mostlikley far from the pan... and also a oil cooler. my engine builder suggests not using a hi volume.. what should it do!!!!
thank you, adam

Get a different engine builder lol.
With a remote filter, oil cooler, and clearances that big, you're going to want some thing like a Melling 10355. It's their VVT/DOD version oil pump with a higher volume than the 10296.
A 10296 pump would probably work too, but you're likely going to see really low oil pressure at idle with a 10295.

Ok apparently he didnt know i had a 7.5qaurt pan even tho i told him.. i may didtch the oil cooler for now but still need the remote oil filter, just so happend i have a overkill one that was laying around and my cousin gave it to me, it uses a 2q fillter... and prob another 1/2 q in the lines... so that puts me at 10 quarts of 15/40 lol... ok if your 75 at 5k.. whats it gonna be at 7... and what oil do you run... also how do these hi volume pumps work? Do they actually have a diffrent drive or bigger casting? Or are they just ported pumps falsely claimed as hi volum? Because a stock pan i would assume would def be dry at 7k with a hi volume
