You must be living in the stone age or something. High performance engines redline over 6000 or 6500 RPM these days
..and how many people, out of all people that might inquire about bypass valve activity own high performance engines? How many high performance cars are sold compared to ...heck, 4.6 Modular's? What's your redline ..and how long do you operate at it?
Track time ..do you have people lining up for a "pay as you go" like a toll booth at the local track? Are they soccer mom's and daily commuters in Civics and Malibu's? How about your average F150? Much track time for them?

And the guys who track their cars are running at least 80 or 90% up to redline the majority of the time on the track. You can bet these engines are putting out way more than 4 or 5 GPM when 6000+ RPM.
Well, what is their flow rate? Got a link for some bona fide source? It can't be that LS? guy that was in relief from idle could it? I mean, he has a HV pump ..so we really don't know, do we?
..but I can't say one way or the other. I don't know ..but I don't think you do either. You're speculating and "wishing" and "willing" it to be so for some assumed non-fact.
I don't care one way or the other than to keep you honest and to perhaps give you a clue that this is an extremely marginal view of the driving world. You default on some assumption of ultimate/extreme/whatever that you extend through the entire plane of existence and give advice and alleged insight into the full spectrum of usage.
Have you ever once said, "For your situation, it's probably not an issue"? No, you immediately head into some would be racer mode ..where very ....very few people dwell.

If you recall, the Subaru thread pointed out that the 4 banger turbo Subaru had a very high volume output oil pump ... do you recall? I do.
I recall it quite well. It was an exceptional situation. You probably forget that there were multiple oil pump depths (internal gear) and that THAT set up was of the highest volume. There were several of lower volume. Do you remember that? I do.

Your wasting my time once again Gary.
in your case this is clearly true

So? Then ask someone if they spend 80-90% of their driving experience on the track when they ask about bypass valve activity. Otherwise the standard consumer/daily driver don't need any useless advice about the topic.

Fact is, there are many cars that can rev and do get revved to near redline on a daily basis (what about those Euro cars on the 'bon doing 180 MPH?), and those cars can and do put out more than a few GPM of oil flow.
See anyone driving 180mph around you off the track? Does Joe Honda Civic do it. Mr. Silverado? Mr. Crown Vic?
You're giving advice to poor people in a manner like "When you get your first million..."
I really need to see the day in the life of Supe~. A daily encounter with all ZO6's and TT's and nothing under 150mph capability ..and all of them doing it on surface streets ..every highway ..all lanes open enough and never a traffic jam in the way. They have their own highways where the common cattle can't access ..cops are paid to NOT be there, and it's a US Audubon.
Oh, and they never have a cold start either. That's for common folk.
