Which melling? Did some searching and saw that melling pumps are pretty good, and considering Speed Inc has a sale on them I was hoping to pick one up for my cam swap. Which would be better for me? I am putting in somewhat of a mild cam, nothing huge by any means. should I go with the 96 high pressure one or the 95 stock replacement? I hear that the stock replacement one still flows 40+ psi at warm idle. thanks for your help.

I don't see any reason why I would be disappointed

I have an 04 vette that I'm putting in trickflow heads and a custom cam 224/228 ? I've heard that the higher volume oil pumps could flow too much leaving the oil pan dry?

My son's 99 Trans-Am spun a rod bearing, and I think the Melling oil pump is the culprit. He had just purchased the car, and drove it 3 hours to get home. Shortly after getting horn, the engine started knocking very loud. After pulling the oil pan, and finding a rod bearing shot, I think the oil pan was cavitating due to the high volume pump.
Anyone else actually have this happen besides us?

I have been beating on mine since last year, and my psi has never fallen under 60, I just put an extra 1/2 quart of german castrol 0-30! pressure stays constant hot or cold!
Gotta love the instant pressure at start up.
I got mine at speedinc too! Frazier is one helpful and knowledgeable guy!
