Man, I wish you guys lived closer. I would fire up my tools for $500 labor to do it. LOL

The oil pump gears would be $395 + ship.

As for the backing plate, unknown at this time.

For the damper, we wont know until ATI releases it.

I'm in for all three. I'm gonna talk to my friends at Forged Performance about the install and see what they think. Probably would lean toward doing it myself, but it is the oil pump.

Can we order the gears now or shall we just wait until the final pricing for the backing plate?

Elmo370z · 06-03-2015, 11:36 AM

Any one in Florida know of any trustworthy shops that can perform this install

If we get 10 interested buyers of the gears, we will move forward for it. We wont be designing and quoting the backing plate unless we get the gears into production. I figure we can start the list in a day or two, and see if we can get the 10 parties that want to go forward with the gears.

Oops thanks

I am thinking on it. I may be in on this one too.

Elmo370z · 06-04-2015, 08:42 AM

I think 10 people would be no prob. Especially for the people who have a NA fetish

Question punk, how many Rams do you think these gears can withstand with the proper supporting mods?

Its nearly impossible to speculate. In the mustang world, people seem to feel perfectly comfortable with 7500-8000, some higher, and the manufacturer uses them at like 10,000rpm in their race engines. But being an entirely different engine doesnt really give us any truly useful data, just reason to have confidence in at least some improvement.

We wont really know for certain until people have been running them for a while. Only after at least a few cars have been using the gears at elevated RPMs would we be able to decide how good we feel about what types of engine speeds.

What this is, is taking an inexpensive shot at doing what we can with the stock oil pump in attempt to improve its reliability. Its entirely possible that we will find them to grenade at 8000rpm despite the upgrades, or we might find that we get some people spinning to 8500rpm regularly and never see a problem. Only time will tell, because the cost of these gears doesnt afford the test engines and time to proactively find out first.

These gears are not a substitute for an external oil pump... they are just working with what we can for those who are not going to go dry sump anyway, and would like to take a shot at beefing up the stock pump.
