If you attempt to run too much oil pressure, it will prematurely wear the stock drive unit.
I have found a moderate pressure works well with stock drive assembly. If you think you are going racing it is wise to use a pump driven off the cam or a belt from crank.

Hey John,
Do you have any source info to share as to who makes a CAM driven pump ?
I know that you make race engines (B-Ville, etc) , so what pressure is TOO much for this Ford drive mechanism, ie- 55lbs ?
Is there a substitute drive that is more durable... in place of the STOCK ford equipment ?
