thanks for clearing up what i was trying to say :y

Oil pumps are positive displacement pumps. They pump the same volume of oil every revolution, your flow is always the same (minus losses due to wear).

more psi = more parasitic load.

Re: shiming an oil pump?
 

Ok so I did a lot of measuring and found my springs installed height. So I am thinking my stock oil pressure is 50 min at 3500rpm. So I take the spring in and it test 21 at installed height then with one .060 shim 23 and another .060 shim 26. Shouldn’t it be around 50.

Ok so then I measure the oil psi control piston that is only .598 is there some crazy conversion out there. So I am thinking 50 pounds per square inch but the piston is not a full inch.

Any idea to find out the true psi with out installing it.

---- it I just got a new spring big diff. 8 pound more on instaled hight. Shimmed it .020. Done

just do what this guy did.
