Titan oil pump?

Currently have a Melling high volume and thinking about changing to a Titan wet sump sportsman pump. Anyone run this pump? Thoughts. Also is the billet fabrications pan required because of this pumps size? Thanks

Im curious if it will fit in a canton pan? I would rather avoid having to buy a billet fabrications pan.

Yeah that was a great article. A blast from the past. Seems that only dedicated racers for the most part are utilizing the Titan? Has anyone run one with a canton pan?

Copy. Yeah might have to sell it and go with a billet fab one if I pull the trigger on the titan. Seems everyone runs cheap oil pumps and from what I hear the new mellings are junk? Im shooting for 900 hp and dont want to take any chances.

Sounds good lonnie. Thanks for the advice. Doesnt sound like any of the fast LT1 guys are running them. I will be calling you shortly for a fuel system for my car.
