I see CFM do a billet oil pump gear for the blacktop oil pump, but are there any uprated ones for the silvertop?
Or am i safe sticking with the standard oil pump, its a supercharged 2.0 silvertop which will be running circa 250bhp (non intercooled, but has water injection and i will be fitting an oil cooler soon as i had been having high oil temps). Also it will be running an occasional 50 shot of nitrous.

Rev limit is at 7200rpm but i rarely go there

standard oil pump is more than adequate, there was a lot of problems with early zetecs and the followers jacking up when they were cold, with excess oil pressur, hence ford changed the oil to pish thin 5w 30, and there was a mod to the relief valve in the pump, and a change to the follower design, and especialy as you have no turbo bleeding off oil, im sure your standard pump is ample, just keep an eye on your oil temps as mentioned.

Ok nice one, i think i will fit a new oil pump anyway because its had most of the other ancillaries renewed
