weird. My engine makes 525 rwhp and you picked that number. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

I've got an MTI modified GM oil pump. Basically ported a bit and the relief spring shimmed to hold a higher pressure. Works great.

I would go with a Katech oil pump.It is $110 dollars plus shipping.I like it a whole lot.It will be plenty good for what you are talking about.

My dear, departed LT1 made 610 RWHP, and a stock GM oil pump worked fine.
