If the NISMO pump is good for 8200 I am all over it and that is good enough for a powerhouse straight-line engine. Otherwise I dont think I would take a stock pump past 7800.

My whole reasoning for wanting to get the nismo oil pump is b/c i want to build a moderate n/a car with all available mods along with a raised redline of 7800 -7900 rpm and have it be reliable as if stock. Were i wanting 8k rpm +, i would be looking into dry sump but honestly, for a noncompetitive track car, its just not worth it so nismo oil pump, baffled pan (eventually) or worst case spacer and just under 8k rpm limit and try to max out power with those constraints.
Btw, last nismo was tracked reg for 3 years with a 7900rpm redline, stock oil pump no issues.
