Aloha,
I have a 6.1 hemi in a Dragster, 1/4 mile racing only, I run .003-.0035 bearing clearences with 60 wt oil and aluminum rods in this combination. I have reaserched and all after market oil pumps (Melling, Manley) are all rated at stock flow equivilant and only offer pressure increases via pump spring replacement. I Would like to hear opinions on eliminating (remove) the piston oil cooler jets that spray the bottom side of the pistons!! In theory, this should raise my oil pressure and increase the oil flow through the engine galleys.
