Re: Update oil pressure

[Steve Chervinsky <63hemipolara@xxxxxxxxx>]

As mentioned to me from a Chrysler race engine engineer, it is better
to have high volume than high pressure. 10psi/1000 rpms is all that is
necessary. BTW all my muscle Mopars have had HVHP oil pumps, 40psi at
600rpm idle and 70 psi hot cruising.

>> Damn don't have a torque wrench anymore lol how about tighten till it's good and tight? :) I'm still up in the air whether to replace with standard oem pump or high pressure pump. Perhaps with high pressure I could go back with 10-30. Only thing that has me worried is the 10-15psi I'm getting at hot idle. A bunch of friends tellin me that's low for a Mopar...idk! So much info! :/
