Oil pump help !

I am interested in buying an melling oil pump (10552). I spoke to melling, they said I need the 10554 which is a lower pressure. The dude said I should use this one because I have close tolerances and the extra oil pressure is un-necessary and might do more harm that good ? Now I'm confused because the guys here recommend the 10552, and the 10550? What pump and pick up should I buy that fits the standard oil pan? I know I dont want high pressure, and I was told not to get the high volume because it will suck the pan dry?


I (searched) found links for info but I stillll dont have the correct answer ?

I have a new rebuild, should I run the high volume pump ? if so, which Melling select:

10550
10551
10552

with which oil pickup ?
Melling
210
259


Here are the links I searched and found but still no answers.

Re: Oil pump help !

FYI, I talked with Mike Lee over at RPM for my build, and the oil pump they sell/recommend for the 4.3 is the melling high pressure pump. I asked the same question cause the description on their website says high volume.
