what u think ?
Do you know what your bearing clearances are? The high volume pump would help pressure at idle if your bearing clearances are on the loose side.

You need to measure the diameter of the crankshaft journal, and then measure the diameter of the main bore with the bearings in it (or measure the main bore and bearings separately). Same thing with the rod journals. You can also use plastigage to get a rough idea of the clearance if you can't measure it. You want to know how much space there is between the crankshaft and the bearing, should be about 0.002".
