Hi pressure versus Hi volume
By james - 09/08/2003 6:32:01 PM; IP 67.66.246.14
I called the engineering department at Melling and they told me that a Hi pressure pump is recomended on the street and a hi volume pump is for the strip. I was told that a high volume pumps will empty the pan and cavitate the oiling system on any kind of extended trip. A hi pressure pump is not prone to doing this making it a better choice for the street.

I am curious about how many of us FE crusaders are running the high volume pumps without any trouble and how many of us are running the Hi pressure pumps without any trouble.

Royce Peterson explained the differences between them one time but I do not recall what his research notes were on this subject. I am hoping he will re-explain it and his findings on which is the appropriate application. Knowing Royce, he will have documentation to back up what he says.
This thread, so far...
