Oil Pump Replacement
Are any of you guys that have done the 416 evolution on your car replacing the stock oil pump? If so, with what? Also, are you going to redline/royal purple oil??
Thanks
Thanks

I didn't, have the stock oil pump as far as I know. I used Joe Gibbs break in oil from Texas Speed for ~1000 miles or so and then got a free Mobil One oil change from the dealer. I will run Mobile One Extended Performance when my free oil changes are up.

Just used a new stock pump on my new 416. Not sure what options are available. No options were mentioned. Car is back together as of today also Robert!

Congrats Shawn. I drove mine around for about 700 miles to break it in before revving it up on the dyno and used the break in oil. Are you going to do any of that or just let er rip?

Mine is 416 with Paxton 2200R blower, Greg Goode heads, and a custom spec'd cam, with a 100 dry nitrous shot. Should be good for 1200 full out. Test piloting the first 3 disc clutch on the streets as well.
Thanks for the info...lot of virgin ground out there...

Good luck with that build should be a monster. What rear tire are you running for the street.

Lol...good question. Right now I have 315/35/20 R888's on the back. I am trying to sell the 20/19" set and go to 18's where there are more tire options. Plan on running a 325/40/18 M&H Racemaster.
Remember its a different monster compared to ls stuff. Its controlled by the ecm.

Im currently running all stock driveline components. I did request to have a speed bleeder installed just to make maintenance a little easier. I'm going to avoid dig racing as much as possible and hopefully it will survive. I'm struggling to come up with a tire and wheel setup. I've kind of blown my race car budget getting to the point I am now so I'm looking for a more cost effective option. So far no good.

Mine is an A6 . I've not read/heard of anyone having C7 clutch slip issues. I think if you put enough tire on it and dump the clutch the differential will fail before the clutch slips.
