Default SLP HD Oil Pump Enough for LSA Piston Squirters?

I am building an LSA engine with the oil nozzles that cool the pistons, they have check valves that open at 43 psi. I already have a new SLP HD oil pump that I was going to use on my old LS6 before I sold it so I figured I would just use that on the LSA, but now I found out that GM uses a higher volume pump on the LSA to accomodate the oil squirters. I tried to call SLP but it's impossible to get anyone there. I suppose I will use the red spring but Im not sure this pump will be able to handle all 8 of the oil squirters when they open up. I just dont want to have to pull everything apart after finding out it cant handle the extra load.

Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated.

Thanks, but I was hoping this one would work, didnt really want to buy another one since I think I have had this one way too long to return. But better safe than sorry I suppose.
