High 300's the whole time. Rev Limit is set to 6800. I don't bounce the limiter and haven't had any issues and as much as it pains me to admit it I agree with Jet. if your stuffing a built motor with big $'s parts do them. If it's a stocky that going to have a bit more punch save your $'sThis ^^^ When I built my motor I was less educated and I didn't do the gears - 60,000ks later and they are still running fine. Had I been a little more educated at the time I would've put the atomic pump in. I agree that if you had the motor out then you should do it, if not then I wouldn't spend the money unless you are limiter happy... 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/82178-to-oil-pump-gears-or-not-to-oil-pump-gearsthat-is-the-question/page/4/#findComment-1303328 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't count how many times I've hit the limiter and all is still good. Mate on the other hand done his twice.

Paulie2256 Donating Members 7,441 Member For: 16y 7m 1d Gender: Male Location: SE Melbourne Posted 02/10/12 06:54 AM Share Posted 02/10/12 06:54 AM Maybe the guys with oil temp gauges log the time vs distance travelled until their oil gets to operating temp along with the type of oil used. Will give the guys with no gauge a good idea of how long it actually takes of oil to get up to temp. Very different to water/coolant.
