If so, what are the drawbacks? Several years ago, I had the 400 in my D300 car hauler rebuilt, and the mechanic asked if I wanted a regular or high output oil pump. I figured more is better, so now the motor pegs the gauge (80 psi) when I fire it up and usually idles at 60-65 psi. I'm wondering if I made a bad choice. Thanks, -Dale
