Which oil pump are you gonna run? High pressure or high volume?

Was looking at the trunion upgrade and its pretty reasonable at $139 too.

Melling high volume or should i go LS6?

Nah the high volume will do just fine. You dont want the high pressure bc itll suck the pan dry with the higher rpms

Nope its when you get to the higher compression you need more fueling grade to help with KR

Lol i could have managed a small kit for the 4.8, but i figured i would start with a new motor because current has 210k on it, even know its ready for boost
Also space is limited underhood being bagged+laying frame, so it would be a little more work
This is why i just steered for a strong n/a motor, for now that is lol
