Why the high volume pump?

[BREK]

Is the motor cold or warm. If cold does the pressure drop when it warms up?

The issue with that kind of oil pressure is that if he had a oil style oil filter adaptor with the oil filter bypass he wouldnt filter any oil. At 80psi you are coming close to bloating a filter. If you start to bloat filters or blow them off a relocation kit with a dual filter would be the next step. AMC oil pumps flow a tremendous amount of oil in stock form however the primary efficiency is based on tolerance.
