some have expressed concern that my oil pressure is to high, is there a problem with running 100psi of oil pressure?
this is a race engine that lives it life full throttle for up to 90 seconds at a time. my thought is more pressure more flow, more flow more cooling.
HP is being wasted. Oil is being heated and foamed unnecessarily. You need flow not excessive pressure. As your chart shows opening up the flow paths= reduced friction. That is FREE hp. You want the lowest pressure the motor will live with and a pump speed and size that produces an idle pressure of 15-20 and 70 max measure at the last bearing, IMHO anymore is a waste of hp. Where are you feeding the oil in into the motor? front or back? front feed gives a less restricted path. opening up the galleys helps.
