The oil pan from driftmotion is cheaper if you send them your own oil pan, so they can modify it. So with the new oil pan from driftmotion having 8 qts. should there be any reason to upgrade the oil pump as well??

true, but not by much in my opinion. and no, you shouldnt need a heavier duty oil pump with more capacity. although it wouldnt be a bad idea to shim the relief valve on the oil pump a few MM to bump the pressure at idle up a few psi.

and thanks cre, sorry if i was seeming, snoody lol...i was high spirited when i wrote that lol.
