I got a high volume unit from advance, don't recall the brand name. Had a lifetime warranty though... it was under 50 bucks. Changing it out really isn't that bad. Boat load of bolts, and there it is. Keep in mind.... it is indeed a messy job, and I got bit by the little bit of oil that stays above the pump, and comes out when you drop it..... twice..... even after being forewarned.....

there is not one single mod that will give that kind of bump..
if you were to s/c, you'd need a tune at the absolute minimum- and you wouldn't last long..
an aggressive cam could bump you that much, but again- not on it's own.. in addition to a tune you'd have to address valve springs and push rods at the minimum..
speaking of which, and directed to the original poster: what do you intend on doing with this rig? I wish like hades I'd had put a sausage cam in mine when I took it down for intake manifold/timing chain/water pump/rocker rollers.. they aren't that expensive, and you're almost there at that point.. just a few more hours and you'd have a torque monster..

I don't know if the design of hi volume have changed much since I was using them in the 70's but a hi volume pump by design tends suck a stock pan dry. We were always required to run a deep sump pan to keep enough oil around.
So I don't see the need to do this mod in a lightly modded engine. Maybe a hi pressure pump to take up the slack in your hi mileage bearings...just change your oil regularly, use a quality brand and a good filter.
Don't spend money where you don't need to...
...same with a jet chip. Those things rate right up there with throttle body spacers in usefulness. For every guy that claims 50 hp there are 20 guys who claim they're crap.

I had E3's that were misfiring like crazy. So I switched up to regular NGK's and those things are solid...for me, that is.
