Oil pump?

[S Phinney]

Rotella T 15w40

I have heard that running 5w-40 would help out also.

The DPR pump is by Diesel Performance Research. But it's not recommended for a street engine. They're for use in a race engine.

Just to let some of you know what i did on my small build with the DPR high volume oil pump. I drilled out all 8 ball and springs in the oil squirters and so far added no shims to the relief valve it runs 110-120psi on a 38* start up and driving down the road hot runs 65-70psi now hot idle is only 25-30 not to sure if this move was good or bad i am still running the stock oil cooler may change that out one day just though i would share my findings so far got 4800 miles on it.

Sonny are you happy with that? Thats about what mine runs also

I run cenpeco race oil in mine so I needed to remove some from the valve where the spring sits.

Are there any oil pump mods recommended for someone in the 7-800 hp range in a dd ????? or just leave well enough alone . temps here can get in the minus but not too often

I'll be hitting up the track soon i hope i'v been a little busy here lately which is a good thing

For me and living down here in south florida i think the psi is just right will see i'v only changed the oil once and the filter twice so far i haven't busted one open yet on the cool start ups

Could you add a magnetic oil pan heater to avoid the pressure spikes from cold starts
Just a thought Sonny

Best of luck at the track

It only gets cold here(below32) about 4 days a year so as long as the filters don't blow i won't worry it only takes a few minutes idling before it comes back down

.060 to much on a stock oil pump relief valve
