I just installed one in a 408 and it works very well. It has around 55psi while cruising and increases with rpm. I'd say it's a good oil pump. It also comes with a high pressure spring and a low pressure spring.

use them in every build. strong and consistent pressure volume with std. pressure, that the name of the game and melling has figured it out. use pump #10296 and install the blue spring that comes with it.

Always used them in my Marine motors. They're top notch.
