Does someone make a high pressure standard volume oil pump for the l31?

unless your running high rpms or a ton of hp a high pressure pump isn't needed, and I believe will actually hurt the performance due to the extra drag on the bearings.

Use a stock replacement, no need for a HP pump.

I have a fresh vortec 5.7 that cold idle is 80psi and hot idle is 60psi. It is using a stock pump.

I agree 100% if you install a high volume pump your going to need a bigger oil pan because it will use all the oil fast at a high RPM and mess up your engine.
