Fueling Oil Pump

Has anyone have experience with the fueling super pump. I'm changing over to gear drive cams and am considering changing the oil pump while I have it apart. Fueling claims a 40% increase in pressure volume and 60% increase in scavenge volume. My question is, are the oil ports in the TC88 large enough to allow 40% more oil flow or will this pump just create more oil pressure.

My logic is this, if I have a 1/2" hose connected to a pump that pumps 100 gpm and I increase the pump size to 200gpm, will the 1/2" hose be large enough to take the additonal volume, or will I just have a flow of 100gpm at a higher pressure? So with the Fueling pump am I really getting more oil flow or just the same amount at a higher pressure?

What about the oil filter, will it also flow the additional volume of oil, or will the media restrict the flow?

I sent an email to Fueling, I'll post their response.

Ok...so here is the response I got back from Fueling:

Our oil pump does work with the stock camplate and yes you will see an
increase in both your engine oil flow volume, oil pressure, cooler
engine and oil temperatures. You are right about the ports which is why
we produced the Feuling camplate with larger ports - the addition of a
feuling camplate to an engine already running the Feuling oil pump will
decrease the engine temps by another 20 degrees.
The most important feature of the Feuling oil pump is the return side -
the increased scavenge volume keeps the crankcases free from oil build
up creating a true dry sump system.

Further ?'s please call

Everything that Feuling said was told to me previously by a top wrench in Reno. He also said that, while an improvement, the Feuling pump/cam-plate expense would not be worth the $$ on my mildly upgraded TC88. Its installation increases in value as the displacement increases, and so I'd definitely go that route if I were to increase the cubes to over 95, or had a hot running 95.

Also, I've heard rumors of folks drilling out their own cam plates to make the Feuling work better. Rumor had it that this often led to leakage problems, (warping) but I can't verify any of that.

Ok...so are you saying to buy the pump but not the new plate, or not buy the pump or the plate if I'm not increasing the cubes? I'm not going to do any head work, I'm just changing over to gear driven cams.

Hey HRK...I almost sent ya a check, then it dawned on me I now have extra $$ to spend on something else for the bike. I really appreciate the tip. Be going to the local hardware over the weekend. As far as loosing things I always say, "outa all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most". :roflmao:

I'm with HRK on this, especially since you probably don't have a lot of heat up there in Michigan and aren't as likely to overload your Heritage as us bagger bikers might. If you have oil leakage at high load it will probably fix that (everything else being A-OK), but you never mentioned that, so I'm guessing that its money better spent elsewhere on your ride.
