Which melling?
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.

Thanks guys, ordered up the 96 from SpeedInc yesterday! JPH in every search I've done you are pimping those Melling pumps real hard 
I don't see any reason why I would be disappointed

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!
