i purchases the Meling high volume pump, and have been very happy with it. I have also hear people being unhappy with it, but I have been very pleased with its performance.
THe one thing it does cause issue with is the double chain. They make it a bit meatier than a stock pump causing cover interfierence.

I use them alot, no problems. You just have to choose the right volume and pressure for your combo. I use them with ls2 chains all the time.

post the part numer of the one u want. i run the high pressure/high volume. 65psi @ idleand 85-90 psi @ wot. but also gotta keep 7.5 qts in it to prevent a dry pan.

im glad i chose the high pressure/high volume tho, can never have too much pump
