Katech A7502 vs A7503 for ZL1

I came across this video and I’m wondering if it’s worth getting the L86 version of the pump for the increased pressure since the car will be getting tuned and stuff anyways. Has anyone done this before opting for the KAT-A7503 over the KAT-A7502

Agreed, I’d be interested to hear @Katech_Mike’s take.

Minimal difference. The A7503 might make 5psi more oil pressure than the A7502.

Don't confuse pressure for volume. Flow is more important than pressure, and adding additional pressure into a system that doesn't need it is not helpful for seals, leakage prevention, etc.

I would stick to A7502 pump over anything else personally. It's made for ours, and is designed to follow the specs of our engines closest.

Correct, high pressure can mean lower volume is not good, this is a balancing act for the power your making. Take what's recommended. I had a great conversation with ZLElvira here on the forum (1.50 hours to be exact... whoa!) and he talked this over with me, oil cooling and pressure with the correct volume etc. Like a garden hose, put your thumb over it really tight and the pressure will be high but less water comes out, but apply the correct amount of pressure and you get the correct water flow under pressure.
