A high volume oil pump is a machinests insurance policy. Because if they didn't get the clearances exactly right your oil pressure would drop off but with the high volume pump it will stay where it is suppose to because of the oil filling in the clearances.
It'd have to be awfully thick oil, or poor clearances to make up a pressure drop due to a clearance issue. Probably the high pressure pump would be the insurance policy. Most high volume pumps run at near stock pressure.
I had the motor built at a shop I used to work for and can assure you meticulous care was taken in its assembly. If there were loose clearances I would have found them already . The second owner hasn't found any either. He is far more abusive than I am.
