High pressure pump on pretty much stock 5.3l?

[Redlsjuan]

So I'm swapping 5.3l into my camaro after the 5.7 met an early demise, and when I pulled the timing cover on my 5.3l junk yard motor, I was surprised to see a brand new oil pump, looked like it had been pulled out of the box, put on and ran for very few miles before the truck was rear ended,

But I still swapped that pump out, I put in a smelling high pressure pump, it came with a little green spring that said if I wanted to lower the pressure by 8 to 10 psi to install that spring, I didn't because a buddy said he has the same pump and it runs at 60psi while driving and just over 40 when at a hot idle..

My question is, will this pump run my pan dry? (Stock car oil pan) will it hurt anything in my motor? I mean they obviously make these pumps for a reason, but I want to know if my build it reason enough to use it,

I do plan on a bigger cam swap later on in the game, New lifters etc at that time too.. right now I just want the car running and driving..

when I did my cam swap at 52k miles, I put in a stock LS6 pump and I get 40 psi idling hot and 65 cold while driving. no issues with running out of oil in the pan that I can see. Definitely don't need any more pressure than this either.

Glad to hear, i installed the oil pump and i used the black o ring and i think i split it. It took some force to get it in there even after oiling it up good... So back in i go
