Re: [AMC-list] How much HP to drive an oil pump ??? (was: Hey, Greg Taylor)

[Greg Taylor <amundaza@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hey Dean,
I honestly don't know the answer and have not heard it discussed before.  On race engines, I think that a belt-driven dry sump system can be worth 50+ HP over a wet-sump system.  
 
Perhaps one of the AMC racers over on the AMC-List know the REAL answer to your question.  I'll CC this email over there.

Greg :)

Something has been bugging me.  As I recall you mentioned zero tolerance on the oil pump on your stroker build and I think 60# of pressure at idle.

Now don't go to drastic measure to check this out (like disconnect the pump or drain the oil and do a dyno test) but do you have any estimate as to how many ponies and resultant MPG's are being used to pump oil at highway speeds?    Just curious   Dean
