Posted July 16, 201113 yr comment_361685 Just finished my first real road test and I have a couple of questions. I'm running a Hi Volume oil pump on Valvoline racing 20-50 for the zinc content. Is the normal oil pressure 80 psi because that's what I'm reading ? A question for you triple guys out there. I have an N42 with a E88 head, mild cam, headers, and 40 DHLA Dell's with 30 chokes on a Cannon manifold. It seems to pull hard to 4000 but above that in 4th I'm falling off. Do I need to go to 32 or 34 chokes ? What are you guys running ? Jet size seems to be ok, I had to bring it down from 140 to 130 because the plugs were reading rich.

July 16, 201113 yr comment_361700 If by high volume you mean the "turbo" pump, then yes the gauge reads nearly all the way up, around 80 PSI at highway speeds. I get that reading with 0W-40 by the way, so the viscosity apparently doesn't seem to affect the pressure that much. (at normal operating temperature, when the engine is dead cold I am sure it has a major effect.)
