PropDr, you've been around on the forums a while,
you haven't read the 100's of post on Oil Pump Gears and pushing really big power? 550+ rwhp
Last count I have is 13-15 blown oil pump gears. Not every one is on the forums. Most are in Dubai beating that crap out of them in the sand.
Even with the Tunes getting better and putting less stress on the gears, "Do you want to take that chance?"
If the oil pump gears shatter/explode while under full pull the motor will cease!!!! It's not just a matter of replacing the gears!
Newer engines like the 6.2L are built with very tight tolerances, it doesn't take long for the motor to cease without oil.
Unless your trying to get a vendor to state it's not necessary,
I don't believe anyone would state that.
I do believe the chances of something happing is very slim to none if you stick to your Tuners recommendations.
Even with thousands of Whippled Raptors that have not done the oil pump there are just fine! Their also not pushing the HP.
Livernois has been using the fuel pump upgrade for their builds for years now.
The stock fuel pump is good for 550 rwhp with a good Tune. After that fuel starvation kicks in.
B.A.P is a cheaper fix, most Drag Strip Mustangs do both Pump and B.A.P. or dual pumps and a dual B.A.P. unit.
And also their doing a return fuel system setup.
But we're talking much higher HP levels.
Driveshaft and springs is a must. IMHO
Wheel Hop/Axle Wrap, is the big problem with all that HP.
Hell even NA Raptor can tear the rear universal out of the driveshaft with enough axle wrap.
Can't go wrong with Axle Exchange's Driveshaft it has a great track record.
Quite a few of us on this forum are running it.
And is sold by a few vendors here on the forum.
