Unless you have a large oil pan (6+ quarts) I would just run the ls6 pump, I only run high volume pumps with larger oil pans so I don't starve the bottom end, ls6 prob cheaper...Plus you can disassemble it and clean up the castings for free...just my 2

If that were really the case, then all those people that put in a melling HV would be on here talking about what a piece of crap it is. Is there any real proof out there that a high volume pump (which we showed that this pump is just a LS6 pump) will suck 6 quarts of oil out of the pan before it goes back through?

street use, drag racing with a bigger volume sump will be ok, road racing or anywhere you are using high rpm for extended times it's not suitable. It's not a problem with how much it flows just that the oil doesn't drain back quick enough.
Hence why road race cars use a dry sump system or standard pumps with the bigger baffled sump.
I have seen two of our local guys with their street cars do track days & blow their engines due to high volume pumps....they had been warned, but they knew better.
